Edgar and Sigbjørn over time
Edgar and Sigbjørn appear together in 1 published list, across 63 years of shared records. Sigbjørn held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Edgar in 0.
The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Sigbjørn reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Edgar in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
