The Fall of Nibelungs (Classic Reprint) by Margaret Armour Pdf

Excerpt from The Fall of Nibelungs Valkyrie, who has been thrown into a deep slumber by Odin, is an heroic version of the tale of the Sleeping Beauty it is fire and not a hedge of roses that surrounds the maiden, and Sigurd has to pass through the flames to reach her as she lies in slumber on the mountain top. The Brunhild episode, again, when Sigurd offers his friendly services to Gunnar and wins her for him, has no lot or part at first with that of the Valkyrie but later the legend shows signs of inter mingling the two; Sigurd, we find, has to go through fire a second time to win the desperate bride for Gunnar. Another complication is that which makes Sigurd the aflianced of Brunhild; a love potion given him by the mother of his future wife, who wishes to keep him at her court, leads him to forget his vows to Brunhild until it is too late.

The Song of the Nibelungs by Anonymous Pdf

The Song of the Nibelungs, is an epic poem written around 1200 in Middle High German. Its anonymous poet was likely from the region of Passau. The Nibelungenlied is based on an oral tradition that has some of its origin in historic events and individuals of the 5th and 6th centuries. The poem is split into two parts: in the first part, Siegfried comes to Worms to acquire the hand of the Burgundian princess Kriemhild from her brother King Gunther. Gunther agrees to let Siegfried marry Kriemhild if Siegfried helps Gunther acquire the warrior-queen Brünhild as his wife. Siegfried does this and marries Kriemhild; however Brünhild and Kriemhild become rivals, leading eventually to Siegfried's murder by the Burgundian vassal Hagen with Gunther's involvement. In the second part, the widow Kriemhild is married to Etzel, king of the Huns. She later invites her brother and his court to visit Etzel's kingdom intending to kill Hagen. Her revenge results in the death of all the Burgundians who came to Etzel's court as well as the destruction of Etzel's kingdom and the death of Kriemhild herself. The Nibelungenlied was the first heroic epic put into writing in Germany, helping to found a larger genre of written heroic poetry.
