  Gunther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aetius in 443 forcibly resettled the Burgundians to Savoy south of Lake Geneva.
In later Germanic legend Gunther appears directly as the son of Gibica or Gibeche/Gjúki.
This suggests that historically the king Gibica of the Bungrundian Laws (ruled before 406) might have been the father of three leaders of the Burgundian invasion, viz.

 Nibelung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Lex Burgundionum, issued by the Burgundian king Gundobad (c.
But as will be seen below, legendary tradition often makes Gibiche or Gjúki (that is Gibica) the father of Gunther/Gunnar and names Giselher (the same name as Gislaharius) as one of Gunther/Gunnar's brothers.
One would expect Gundaharius to be named immediately after Gibica.

 The Lost Literature of Anglo-Saxon England - Part 2: The Earliest Strata
Eormenric is, as I have discussed in Part One, the historical Fourth Century Gothic king Ermanaric, and many others mentioned in Widsith and elsewhere in the Old English corpus are memories of the heroes, kings and war-leaders of the Goths and other tribes of the Migration Age.
In this passage alone we can also recognise Attila the Hun, and "Gifica" is probably Gibica, the father of the historical Burgundian king, Gundahar.
Obviously the exploits of these and other Migration Age heroes were celebrated by continental Germanic poets and these tales found their way north to the tribes of northern Germany and Denmark, and were carried to England with the Anglo-Saxons.

 Western Literature to Dante: Week 28   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
One cannot trust these stories as direct historical sources, of course: Attila, for example, died (according to the best historical sources) from drinking too much wine, not at the hands of some disgruntled in-laws.
Even so, in this interwoven story we find the names of Attila (Atli in the Norse sources; Etzel in the German ones) and Bleda (Budli) his brother (here become his father); the kings Gundaharius (Gunnar here; Gunther in the German), Gibica (here Gjuki; Gibich in the German), and Gislaharius (Giselher in the German; omitted here).
We also find Brynhild, mentioned earlier by Gregory of Tours.
