    Nibelungenlied Character List

    Siegfried

    Lord of the Netherlands, Norway, and Niebelungland who married Kriemhild, princess
    of Burgundy. Siegfried assists King Gunther in his pursuit of the Queen Brunhild's
    hand in marriage and is ultimately taken out by Hagen.
    Kriemhild

    Princess of Burgundy and loved by Siegfrid. Revenge is taken against Hagen using
    the sword of Siegfried, but ultimately dies at the hand of Hildebrand.
    Gunther

    The king of Burgundy who wins the hand of Brunhild with assistance from Siegfrid.
    Before too long, however, he bears some responsibility for the death of Siegfried
    and is ordered to be killed by Kriemhild. Before that can happen, however, he and
    Hagen wipe out a great deal of Huns in Etzel’s Hall.
    Brunhild

    The queen of Iceland and as strong as she is beautiful and, oh man, is she a
    hottie! Such a catch is Brunhild that Gunther not only travels all the way to
    Iceland to win her over, but performs an increasingly difficult series of acts to
    reveal his own strength. Of course, these displays of majestic power are helped to
    no small end by having his buddy Siegfrid helping out courtesy of a cloak of
    invisibility. One of the stranger aspects of this bizarre trio is that Siegfrid and
    the invisible cloak are also deemed necessary by Gunther to overpower Brunhild
    sexually.
    Hagen

    Lord of Troneck, brother of Dancwart, son of Aldrian and chief vassal of the kings
    of Burgundy. As if that weren’t enough, Hagen is also held hostage at Etzel’s
    court, is responsible for the death of Siegfried and becomes target of a revenge
    plot by Kriemhild.
    Etzel

    King of the Huns. Perhaps better known by another, more familiar name: Attila.
    Albric

    A dwarf who becomes the former owner of the cloak of invisibility after a run-in
    with Siegfrid.
