Svanhildr was the daughter of Sigurd and Gudrun in Germanic heroic legend who was noted for her beauty. Her death at the hands of her husband Ermanaric was told in many northern European stories, including the Old Norse Poetic Edda (Hamðismál and Guðrúnarhvöt), Prose Edda, and Völsunga Saga; the skaldic poem Ragnarsdrápa; the Danish Latin Gesta Danorum; and the German Latin Annals of Quedlinburg.
