	Lay Of Hildebrand - LoveToKnow 1911
		There is little doubt, however, that, as in the Old Norse Asmundar saga, where the tale is alluded to, the fight must have been fatal to Hadubrand.
		But in the later traditions, both of the Old Norse Thidreks saga (13th century), and the so-called Jiingere Hildebrandslied - a German popular lay, preserved in several versions from the 15th to the 17th centuryHadubrand is simply represented as defeated, and obliged to recognize his father.
		The Old High German Hildebrandslied is dramatically conceived, and written in a terse, vigorous style; it is the only remnant that has come down from early Germanic times of an undoubtedly extensive ballad literature, dealing with the national sagas.

		As a variattion, in Atlamál and Vôlsunga saga, Guðrún is helped in her deed by Niflungr (VS; Hniflungr in Am.) the son of Hôgni, and each time the poet makes an point of stressing their joint action: Ok er hann var sofnaðr, kom Guðrún þar ok sonr Hôgna.
		The legend of the Hun is certainly a varied one: his character ranges from benevolent king via cold-blooded murderer to Antichrist, his end from a mere vanishing into thin air to being murdered in his bed after he has unwittingly eaten his two sons, his appearances from mere name-droppings to almost full-fledged epics.
		The closest Attila ever comes to an epic in his own right is probably Þiðreks saga, which tells of the Hun's wooing of his first wife, Erka, touches his involvement in the Siegfried- and Walther-legends, reports at length about Dietrich's campaigns in which he was involved, and at last relates the story of his death.

		When the historian Joseph Eutych Kopp in the 1830s dared to question the reality of the legend, an effigy of him was burnt on the Rütli, the meadow above Lake Lucerne where—according to the legend—the oath was sworn that concluded the original alliance between the founding cantons of the Swiss confederacy.
		Wilhelm Öchsli published in 1891 a scientific account of the founding of the confederacy (commissioned by the government for the celebration of the first National holiday of Switzerland on August 1, 1891), and clearly dismissed the story as a saga.

	Historical Nibelungen - Nibelungs Saga: The True Core by the Svava?
		Ritter's method of dealing with Thidreks saga is principally based on his answer to the cardinal question whether a tradition assumed being remarkably pregnant with historical facts may be dissected in twilight mixture of mythological narratives.
		Beside other indication, Ritter regards the Svava principally guiding Thidreks saga, and he considers all these texts as certain coherent chronicle of such recognizable literary selectivity that subsequently will allow efforts to estimate them as sources of preponderant historical events.
		Regarding the Niflungs pedigree directly extracted from the Thidrek Saga texts, however, Grimhilde's youngest 'brother' Gislher cannot be the natural son of King Aldrian, the early died Niflungs father.

		Some Norse Sagas live between Christianity and Paganism (Njál's saga is an example; see also Norse mythology.)
