Orm Ivarsson

Orm Ivarsson, often called Orm Kongsbror, died 1184, was a magnate and military commander in Norway during the civil war era. He was the son of Ivar Sneis, a chieftain from Opplandene, and Ingrid Ragnvaldsdottir, originally a Swedish princess who had also been a Norwegian queen. He received the epithet "Kongsbror" because, through his mother Ingrid, he was the half-brother of King Inge Haraldsson (Crouchback). Orm was an important ally for his brother Inge, and later for King Magnus Erlingsson.
