Description

In Norse mythology, Grimhildr (or Grimhilde) was a sorceress married to King Gyuki, one of the Burgundian kings, and her story appears in the Volsunga Saga, where she is described as a “fierce-hearted woman.” Grimhildr was easily bored, and often amused herself by enchanting various people—including the hero Sigurðr, who she wanted to see marry her daughter Gudrun. The spell worked, and Sigurðr left his wife Brynhild. As if that wasn’t enough mischief-making, Grimhildr decided her son Gunnar should marry the spurned Brynhild, but Brynhild didn't like the idea. She said that she would only marry a man who was willing to a cross a ring of fire for her. So Brynhild created a circle of flames around herself and dared her potential suitors to cross it. Sigurðr, who could cross the flames safely, knew that he’d be out of trouble if he could see his ex happily remarried, so he offered to switch bodies with Gunnarr and get across. And who had enough magic to make the body-swapping work out? Grimhildr, of course. Brynhild was fooled into marrying Gunnarr, but it didn’t end well; she finally figured out she’d been tricked, and ended up killing Sigurðr and herself. The only one who came out of the whole debacle relatively unscathed was Gudrun, whose malicious mother ended up marrying her off to Brynhild’s brother, Atli.
