  He gained the title of Ealdorman of Kent, Lord of Cooling, Kent, Lord of Meopham, Kent and Lord of Lenham, Kent. Sigehelm appears as minister of the king in an 875 charter involving land in Kent "Ego Sighelm . minister . regis" . He appears as dux in an 889 charter also involving land in Kent as "Ego Sigehelm dux". In 898, king Ælfred granted him land in Fearnleag/Farleigh, co. Kent "In nomine domine ego Ælfrædus gratia Dei Saxonum rex. meo fideli duce Sigilmo concedo in perpetuam possessionem terram juris mei uniusque manentis in loco qui dicitur Fearnleag ...". This land was later held byhis daughter Eadgifu. Sigehelm was not a very common name, and the records can all be localized in Kent. Sigehelm who took the alms of Ælfred to Rome and "India" in 882. Slain on Dec 13 902 slain onthe side of England's King Eadweard at the Battle of Holme. The Battle of the Holme took place in East Anglia on 13 Dec 902 between the Anglo-Saxon men of Kent and the East Anglian Danes. Following the death of Alfred the Great in 899, his son Edward the Elder became king, but his cousin Æthelwold, the son of Alfred's elder brother, King Æthelred, claimed the throne. His bid was unsuccessful, and he fled to the Northumbrian Danes, who, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, accepted him as king. In 902 Æthelwold came with a fleet to Essex and the following year he persuaded the East Anglian Danes to attack Mercia and north Wessex. Edward retaliated by ravaging East Anglia and the Danish army was forced to return to defend its own territory. Edward then retreated, but the men of Kent disobeyed the order to retire, and they met the Danes at the battle of the Holme. The course of the battle is unknown, but the Danes appear to have won as according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle they "kept the place of slaughter". However, they suffered heavy losses including Æthelwold, Eohric, the Danish king of East Anglia, Brihtsige, son of the ætheling Beornoth, and two holds, Ysopa and Oscetel. The battle thus ended Æthelwold's Revolt. Kentish losses included Sigehelm, father of Edward the Elder's third wife, Eadgifu of Kent.
