Sjúrður (or Sigurd), was, around the year 1300, lawman of Shetland and was also possibly lawman of the Faeroe Islands.[1]

Sjúrður was, together with Bishop Erlendur, co-author of the Faeroese Seyðabrævið in 1298 - a document with land use rules for the Faeroe Islands, and the Faeroes' oldest document.
