Sigrun

Valkyrie and lover of the hero Helgi. Sigrun was the daughter of King Hogni.

Sigrun was due to marry Hodbrod (Hodbrodd), son of King Granmar, whom she despised and had no intention of marrying. So when Sigrun met Helgi, son of Sigmund, she urged the hero into battle against Hodbrod.

The sons of Hunding, enemies of Helgi, became allies of Hodbrodd. Helgi had killed their father in an earlier war. Helgi, with the help of his half-brother Sinfjotli, defeated and killed Hodbrod in battle. Hunding’s sons - Alf, Eyolf, Herward and Hagbard - were also killed.
