ii, 8) relates that a giantess, Hrimnir's daughter, first dwelt in Asgard as the maid-servant of Frigg, then on earth, and that she, during her sojourn on earth, became the wife of a king, and with him the mother and grandmother of werewolves, who infested the woods and murdered men.
...The circumstance that the giantess in question first dwelt in Asgard and thereupon in Midgard, indicates that she is identical with Gullveig-Heid, and this identity is confirmed by the statement that she is a daughter of the giant Hrimnir.
Thus we have found that the three characteristic points--- (1) unsuccessful cremation of an evil giantess (2) her regeneration after the cremation, (3) the same woman as mother of the Fenris race-- are common to Gullveig-Heid and Angerboda.
