Kriemhild

This name comes from the Old German elements grimo, meaning “mask,” and hilt, meaning “battle.” Kriemhild is a beautiful heroine in the medieval German epic Nibelungenlied, where she is Gunther’s sister and Siegfried’s wife. After Hagen kills her husband with Gunther’s consent, she takes tragic revenge. In Norse versions of the story, she is called Gudrun.
