Sicga
Sicga (died 22 February 793) (also given as Siga and Sigha) was a nobleman in the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria.
Sicga first appears in the historical record as senior lay witness to the proceedings of a council held by Papal Legate, George, Bishop of Ostia in 786, where he is called a ''patrician'' (''Sigha patricius''), a term which may correspond with the Old English term ealdorman.〔Kirby, p. 153; MGH, ''Epistolae Karolini aevi (II)'', p. 28.〕
The ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' records the murder of King Ælfwald by Sigca at ''Scythlecester'' (which may be modern Chesters) on 23 September 788:This year Elwald, king of the Northumbrians, was slain by Siga, on the eleventh day before the calends of October; and a heavenly light was often seen on the spot where he was slain. He was buried in the church of Hexham.〔Kirby, pp. 153–154; Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Ms. D, s.a. 789.〕
Sicga's death, on 22 February 793, is recorded by the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle,'' and Symeon of Durham adds that he died by suicide. In spite of this, and the fact that he was a regicide, Sicga was buried at the monastery of Lindisfarne.〔Yorke, p. 242; Williams, p. 14.〕
