Gibicho and Grimhild are the royal parents of the Burgundian dynasty, whose children — the kings Gunther, Gernot, and Giselher, and the princess Kriemhild — are swept into the tragedy of the Nibelung treasure and Sigurd's murder.
⚠ In the Nibelungenlied, the parents are Dancrat and Uote, and there is no Guttorm. This group follows the Völsunga saga/Thidrekssaga composite tradition (Gjúki/Gibicho and Grimhild).
Guttorm is the half-brother of Gunther, Gernot, Giselher, and Kriemhild — Gibicho's son by another woman, not Grimhild's child, and therefore not bound by the oath of brotherhood that protected Sigurd from his sworn brothers.
