Kudrun

The genealogy above comes from a Middle High German poem, written in the 13th century, titled Gudrun Lied or Kudrun. The poem was named after the heroine Kudrun or Gudrun, but is not to be confused with the heroine of the Icelandic sagas (Gudrun in Volsunga Saga and the Eddas).

You will find the tale in a page called.... Kudrun. Of course!

Kudrun was the daughter of Hetel, king of Denmark, and Hilde the daughter of Hagen of Ireland. Her father's family was known as the Hegelings.
