Not to be confused with the Siegfried I.
"The reeking streets of Altdorf can go to Morr!"
- —Emperor Siegfried the Lawgiver"[2a]
Siegfried the Lawgiver was Emperor of the Empire in 557 IC, succeeding his father, the famous Sigismund the Conqueror.[1a]
Little is known about him, other than the fact that he moved the Imperial capital back to Nuln from its original home in the city of Altdorf. [1a]
Siegfried claimed it was simply due to the wretched stench of the city, which led to Altdorf being known as the Great Reek for centuries afterward.[1a]
