The Volsunga saga is a late 13th century Icelandic prose rendition of the story of Sigurd and Brynhild, and the destruction of the Burgundians. It is largely based on epic poetry.
The Nibelungenlied is an epic poem in Middle High German and is very similar to the Volsunga Saga. In the Nibelungenlied, the hero Siegfried is a Germanic parallel of Sigurd.
