TitleLeadingThe
SynopsisThe Vlsunga Saga is a legendary saga, a late 13th century Icelandic prose rendition of the origin and decline of the Volsung clan (including the story of Sigurd and Brynhild and destruction of the Burgundians). It is largely based on epic poetry. The earliest known representation of this tradition is in pictoral form as the Ramsund carving, Sweden, which was created c. 1000 AD.The origins of the material are considerably older, however, and it echoes real events in Central Europe during the fifth and sixth centuries. In this manuscript, the saga leads straight in to Ragnars saga lobrkar .The Middle High German epic poem Nibelungenlied is based largely on the old stories, which were commonly known in all of the Germanic lands from the early Middle Ages on, but reworks the material into a courtly medieval setting.One of the most notable adaptations of this text is Richard Wagner's operatic suite, the Der Ring des Nibelungen.
