The Legend of Gudrun

A saga of the old heroic period where the men are brave, strong heroes, rejoicing in battle and feats of strength, and the women are beautiful, constant, and courageous. 


Gudrun is the wife of Siegfried and a major figure in Germanic heroic legend and literature. She is the main character of the Nibelungenlied and the first character to be introduced.  The scenes of “Gudrun” are principally laid along the shores of the North Sea and in Normandy. The men and women in this story resemble generally those in the “Lied.”
