- Note
- The poem is split into two parts. In the first part, the prince Siegfried comes to Worms to acquire the hand of the Burgundian princess Kriemhild from her brother King Gunther. Gunther agrees to let Siegfried marry Kriemhild if Siegfried helps Gunther acquire the warrior-queen Brünhild as his wife. Siegfried does this and marries Kriemhild; however, Brünhild and Kriemhild become rivals, leading eventually to Siegfried´s murder by the Burgundian vassal Hagen with Gunther´s involvement. In the second part, the widow Kriemhild is married to Etzel, king of the Huns. She later invites her brother and his court to visit Etzel´s kingdom intending to kill Hagen. Her revenge results in the death of all the Burgundians who came to Etzel´s court as well as the destruction of Etzel´s kingdom and the death of Kriemhild herself.
