* The Nibelungenlied, an epic poem in Middle High German, tells the saga of Siegfried / Sigurd, who killed a dragon on the Drachenfels ( Siebengebirge ) (" dragons rock "), near Bonn at the Rhine and of the Burgundians and their court at Worms, at the Rhine and Kriemhild's golden treasure, which was thrown into the Rhine by Hagen.

Instead, he stayed with the Danish king Siegfried ( possibly Sigurd Ring ).

Except for the change in name, probably inspired by the Thidrekssaga, the story of Regin, Sigurd and Fafner in Wagner's opera Siegfried follows closely the text of the Eddas.

Sigurd ( Siegfried ) later killed Fafnir and gave Andvaranaut to Brynhildr ( Brünnehilde ).

In Norse mythology, Gram ( Old Norse " wrath ") is the name of the sword that Sigurd ( Siegfried ) used to kill the dragon Fafnir.

In Norse tradition, Hagen's counterpart Högni is less extreme and the actual slayer of Sigurd ( the Norse counterpart to Siegfried ) is Gutthorm, a younger brother of Gunnar and Högni.

In the mythology of northern Europe, Gunther and Högni became the blood brothers of Sigurd when he married their sister Gudrun ; in Wagner's Ring Cycle, the same occurs between Gunther and Wagner's version of Sigurd, Siegfried, which is marked by the " Blood Brotherhood Leitmotiv ".

Legendary tales about him appear in Latin, medieval Middle High German, Old Norse, and Old English texts, especially concerning his relations with Siegfried ( Sigurd in Old Norse ) and his death by treachery in the hall of Attila the Hun.

In most texts, such as the Nibelungenlied, Gunther / Gunnar seeks to make Brünhild his wife, but can win her and master her only because the hero Siegfried / Sigurd aids him and takes his place.

If Gotthorm or Gutthorm, the slayer of Sigurd in northern tradition, is brother of Gunnar and Högni, but is not a son of Gjúki, he must be a maternal half-brother, just as Hagen, the slayer of Siegfried in the German tradition, is a maternal half-brother in the Thidreks saga.

In the Norse tales the hoard originates from a dwarf named Andvari, thence passes to Odin, and then to Hreidmar ( Hreiðmarr ), and then to Hreidmar's son Fáfnir who changes into dragon form, and from him to Sigurd ( Siegfried ).

In the Nibelungenlied, Siegfried ( the Middle German equivalent to Norse Sigurd ) discarded Gram in exchange for another magic sword, Balmung.

He dissects Oedipus, Theseus, Romulus, Heracles, Perseus, Jason, Bellerophon, Pelops, Asclepios, Dionysos, Apollo, Zeus, Joseph, Moses, Elijah, Watu Gunung, Nyikang, Sigurd or Siegfried, Llew Llawgyffes, Arthur, and Robin Hood.

Fáfnismál contains a discussion between the hero Sigurd and the dragon Fafnir who is dying from a mortal wound from Sigurd.

When Regin makes a sword for Sigurd that lives up to his standards, he requests that Sigurd fulfill a vow and kill Fafnir, who is hiding treasure.

They arrive at the spot where Fafnir guards the treasure and Sigurd delivers a fatal blow to the dragon.

Before Fafnir dies, they have an important conversation that reveals the truth to Sigurd about the treasure.

With this advice and the other words from the birds, Sigurd drew his sword and cut off Regin's head and took all the gold from the treasure that Fafnir had previously guarded.

After using Gram to kill Fafnir, Sigurd returns to ask Regin what to do.

Fafnir figures out that his own brother, Regin, plotted the dragon's death, and tells Sigurd that he is happy that Regin will also cause Sigurd's death.

In Fáfnismál, during a discussion between Sigurd and Fafnir concerning the minor Norns ( apart from the three great Norns ), those who govern the lives and destinies of dwarves are also known as " Dvalin's daughters ".

* Fafnir, which had turned into a dragon because of his greed, and was killed by Sigurd ;

* Gram, the sword of Sigmund, which would be destroyed by Odin, and is later reforged by Regin and used by Sigmund's son Sigurd to slay the dragon Fafnir.

The Hattian civilization may also have given rise to the Hittite legend of Teshub and Illuyankas, although similar legends are found in many Indo-European cultures ( Indra and Vrtra, Zeus and Typhon, Thor and Jörmungandr, Sigurd and Fafnir, and even the medieval Saint George and the Dragon ).

In Norse iconography, the depiction of a horse carrying a chest was sufficient to represent Grani carrying the treasure after Sigurd had slain the dragon Fafnir.

In order to prove that she was the daughter of Sigurd who had slain Fafnir, she said that she would bear a child whose eye would bear the image of a serpent.

Sigmund left it for his son Sigurd, who reforged it to kill Fafnir.

According to the Poetic Edda and the Völsunga saga, Sigurd accidentally tasted dragon blood while roasting the heart of Fafnir.

# Sigurd is sitting naked in front of the fire preparing the dragon heart, from Fafnir, for his foster-father Regin, who is Fafnir's brother.

# is the previous event when Sigurd killed Fafnir, and

The story of the Sword in the Stone has an analogue in some versions of the story of Sigurd ( the Norse proto-Siegfried ), whose father, Sigmund, draws the sword Gram out of the tree Barnstokkr where it is embedded by the Norse god Odin.

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

To compound his problems, the Norse contingents, led by Sigurd Hlodvirsson, Earl of Orkney and Brodir of the Isle of Man, arrived on Palm Sunday, 18 April.

Reginn, often Anglicized as Regin, in Norse mythology, was the son of Hreiðmarr and foster father of Sigurd.

Sigmund / Siegmund is also the name of Sigurd / Siegfried's father in other versions of the Sigurd story, but without any of the details about his life or family that appear in Norse Völsung tales and poems.

But from his Oxford Genetic Atlas Project genetic data Sykes said that the lack of patrilineal Y-chromosomes from the “ Sigurd ” clan in south Wales ( and very few in other parts of Wales ) is strong evidence against any Norse Viking settlement in Wales, and means that the Viking explanation of Morgan Watkin for the high frequency of blood group A in ‘ Little England beyond Wales ’ is wrong.
