Written by an unknown author in the twelfth century, this powerful tale of murder and revenge reaches back to the earliest epochs
 of German antiquity, transforming centuries-old legend into a masterpiece of chivalric drama. Siegfried, a great prince of the
 Netherlands, wins the hand of the beautiful princess Kriemhild of Burgundy, by aiding her brother Gunther in his struggle to
 seduce a powerful Icelandic Queen. But the two women quarrel, and Siegfried is ultimately destroyed by those he trusts the most. 
Comparable in scope to the Iliad, this skilfully crafted work combines the fragments of half-forgotten myths to create one 
of the greatest epic poems - the principal version of the heroic legends used by Richard Wagner, in The Ring.
