Family

• Gibicho(spouse),Gernot(child),Giselher(child),Gunther(child),Kriemhild(child)— Marriage

  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).

  Grimhild brewed a potion that erased Sigurd's memory of Brunhild and his betrothal vow, then married her daughter Kriemhild to the bewitched hero and had him use shape-changing magic to win Brunhild for her son Gunther — a chain of deceptions that destroyed them all.
