Nibelungenlied
First put in writing during the 12th century, these epics tell of the tragic relations of Siegfried and Brünnhilde, characters from early German mythology. The setting of the plot is in the days of the invasions of the Huns. It is constructed around the destruction of the kingdom of Burgundy by the Huns in 437 and the death of Attila in 453.
