The Nibelungen Lied by Unknown
A sweeping medieval epic follows the rise and fall of a great hero who wins a vast hoard and a magic cloak, helps a king win a mighty queen through cunning and force, and marries the king’s sister; courtly rivalries, wounded pride, and a fatal betrayal lead to the hero’s treacherous murder, after which his grieving widow forges an alliance with a foreign ruler to exact a relentless, tragic vengeance that culminates in a brutal sack and the mutual destruction of both houses.
