  Kriemhild - LoveToKnow 1911
KRIEMHILD (GRiMHILD), the heroine of the Nibelungenlied and wife of the hero Siegfried.
The older story, according to which Grimhild slays her husband Attila in revenge for her brothers, is preserved in the Norse tradition, though Grimhild's part is played by Gudrun, a change probably due to the fact, mentioned above, that the name Grimhild still retained in the north its sinister significance.
The name of Grimhild is transferred to Gudrun's mother, the "wise wife," a semi-daemonic figure, who brews the potion that makes Sigurd forget his love for Brunhild and his plighted troth.

Grimhild is eager to have amends made to Guthrun for the slaying of Sigurth and their son, Sigmund, because Atli has threatened war if he cannot have Guthrun for his wife.

Stanzas 22-25 describe the draught of forgetfulness which Grimhild gives Guthrun, just as she gave one to Sigurth (in one version of the story) to make him forget Brynhild.

She loved the life in the mountains; the great solitude sometimes made her feel sad, but it was not an unpleasant sadness, it was rather a gentle toning down of all the shrill and noisy feelings of the soul.
And she wondered what they were doing down there, whether Grimhild had done milking, and whether her father had returned from the ford, where it was his habit at this hour to ride with the footmen to water the horses.
As she sat thus wondering, she was startled by a creaking in the dry branches hard by, and lifting her eye, she saw a tall, rather clumsily built, young man emerging from the thicket.

No, I'm not going to get started on a hobby-horse here, though my memories of cultural anthropology class are sticking their heads up inquisitively and are more than ready to give their two cents on the phenomenom.
The tale of Grimhild (and what a perfectly appropriate name, given her supposed actions) reminded me of reading both "Beowulf" and Michael Crichton's "Eaters of the Dead" and the film "The 13th Warrior" which was based upon it, what with the bone woman, the "magic" and curse, and so forth.
Author Reply: Grimhild's Tale is a nod towards all the old English folk tales and fairy tales (the real ones that Tolkien talks about, not the sugarcoated-fit-only-for-the-nursery-types) that always have an element of creepiness to them.
