Das Nibelungenlied by Unknown
"Das Nibelungenlied" by Unknown is an epic poem written around 1200 in Middle High German. This Germanic heroic legend follows prince Siegfried's quest to win Princess Kriemhild, helping her brother King Gunther secure the warrior-queen Brünhild. But rivalries spark murder and betrayal. Years later, the widowed Kriemhild marries Etzel, king of the Huns, and plots a devastating revenge that brings kingdoms to ruin. Dubbed the "German Iliad," this powerful medieval epic inspired
Wagner's Ring Cycle. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
