They rejected many tales they collected because of their similarity to tales by Charles Perrault, which they thought proved they were not truly German tales ; Sleeping Beauty survived in their collection because the tale of Brynhildr convinced them that the figure of the sleeping princess was authentically German.

The Brothers Grimm rejected several tales for their collection, though told orally to them by Germans, because the tales derived from Perrault, and they concluded they were thereby French and not German tales ; an oral version of Bluebeard was thus rejected, and the tale of Briar Rose, clearly related to Perrault's Sleeping Beauty, was included only because Jacob Grimm convinced his brother that the figure of Brynhildr, from much earlier Norse mythology, proved that the sleeping princess was authentically Germanic folklore.

A depiction of Brynhildr ( 1919 ) by Robert Engels.

The hero Sigurðr Sigmundson ( Siegfried in the Nibelungenlied ), heir to the clan of Völsung and slayer of the dragon Fafnir, entered the castle and awoke Brynhildr by removing her helmet and cutting off her chainmail armour.

Following Sigurðr's departure, Brynhildr was visited by Gudrun, the daughter of Gjuki, who sought her aid in interpreting a dream.

In the Italian comic book Martin Mystère, Aslaug, the daughter of the Valkyrie Brynhildr, with the help of Karl Weisthor, attempted to open a portal to Hindarfjall in the Obergruppenführersaal in Wewelsburg in 1936, but she was stopped by the agent of the American secret service " Elsewhere ", who was unknowingly working for Loki, the god of fire.

Aslaug was the daughter of Sigurd and the shieldmaiden Brynhildr, but was raised by Brynhild's fosterfather Heimer.

One translation includes him in a quote by Brynhildr, speaking of Haki and Hagbard as his sons.

The poems in the second part narrate legends about Norse heroes and heroines, such as Sigurd, Brynhildr and Gunnar.

Hearing of Sigurðr's encounter with the valkyrie, Grimhild decided to make Brynhildr the wife of her son Gunnar ( Gunther in the Nibelungenlied ).

Gunnar and Sigurðr soon returned to their true forms, and Brynhildr married Gunnar.

However, Gudrun and Brynhild later quarreled over whose husband was greater, Brynhildr boasting that Gunnar had been brave enough to ride through the flames.

However, Brynhildr has sworn to marry only Sigurðr, so she is deceived into believing that Gunnar is actually Sigurðr.

When she ends up married to Gudrun's brother Gunnar instead of Sigurd, the man she intended to marry, Brynhildr speaks a verse comparing the courage of the two men:

Brynhildr is married to Gunnar and not Sigurd because of deceit and trickery, including a potion of forgetfulness given to Sigurd so he forgets his previous relationship with her.

The Völsunga saga also describes a subsequent encounter between Sigurðr and Brynhildr at Hlymdale, the home of Brynhildr's brother-in-law, Heimir.

Promising to return and make Brynhildr his bride, Sigurðr then headed for the court of Gjuki, the King of Burgundy.

In the kingdom of the Burgundians, Gjuki's wife, the sorceress Grimhild, wanting Sigurðr married to her daughter Gudrun ( Kriemhild in Nibelungenlied ), prepared a magic potion that made Sigurðr forget about Brynhildr.

Gudrun revealed that it was actually Sigurðr who rode through the ring of fire, and Brynhildr became enraged.

According to the Völsunga saga, Brynhildr bore Sigurðr a daughter, Aslaug, who later married Ragnar Lodbrok.

She tells him her name is Hildr, and " she is known as Brynhildr, and was a valkyrie ".

The history of Brynhildr includes fratricide, a long battle between brothers, and dealings with the Huns.

Brynhildr of the Volsunga saga, along with her rival in love, Gudrun, provides an example of how a shieldmaiden compares to more conventional aristocratic womanhood in the sagas.

Brynhildr is chiefly concerned with honor, much like a male warrior.

" While riding along a road on the border of Hel in a lavish cart ( the cart her corpse was burnt within ), Brynhildr encounters a dead giantess at a burial mound belonging to her.

This results in a heated exchange, during which Brynhildr tells of her life.

In the Eddic poem Helreið Brynhildar ( Bryndhildr's ride to Hel ), Brynhildr on her journey to Hel encounters a gýgr ( giantess ) who blames her for an immoral livelihood.

Brynhildr responds to her accusations:

Gudrun is no shieldmaiden, and Brynhildr mocks her for this, saying, " Only ask what is best for you to know.

As far as historicity can be ascertained, Attila, Jörmunrekkr and Brynhildr actually existed, taking Brynhildr to be partly based on Brunhilda of Austrasia, but the chronology has been reversed in the poems.

Sigurðarkviða hin skamma contains several stanzas in which the Valkyrie Brynhildr gives instructions for the number of slaves that were to be sacrificed for the funeral of the hero Sigurd, and how their bodies were to be arranged on the pyre, as in the following stanza:

Brynhildr ( sometimes spelled Brunhild, Brünnhilde, Brynhild ) is a shieldmaiden and a valkyrie in Norse mythology, where she appears as a main character in the Völsunga saga and some Eddic poems treating the same events.

According to the Völsunga saga, Brynhildr is a shieldmaiden ( and seemingly though not explicitly a valkyrie ) who is the daughter of Budli.

This dream presaged Sigurðr's betryal of Brynhildr and marriage to Gudrun.
