Guðrúnarhvöt - A Reading

Guðrúnarhvöt (Guðrún's Inciting) | The Poetic Edda
Translated by Henry A. Bellows | Recorded by Folkbuilder Nicholas Rice

Gudrun could not escape to death after the murder of Atli and her sons. She settles to marrying King Jonak of the Goths, and bore him children. While she had been married to the hero Sigurd and with him she had the daughter Svanhild, who was brought to live with Gudrun and the Goths. Svanhild had married the Gothic king Ermanaric (Jörmunrekkr), but betrayed him with the king's son, Randver. Furious Ermanaric hanged his own son and had Svanhild trampled to death by horses. Gudrun wants to avenge her daughter and she agitates her sons Hamdir and Sörli, her sons with King Jonakr, by telling them about her fate. They depart for their fateful vengeance, a story that is told in the Hamðismál, the last poem of the Poetic Edda. Gudrun laments the sorrows of her fates through three husbands and many lost children and wishes for death so she can rejoin with Sigurd in the afterlife.
