Norse Heroes 1
The majority of these characters come from the Völsunga Saga, so for the full story, read Völsunga Saga.
It should be noted that Wayland was the English name of the divine master smith, but he was famous for myths throughout the other Germanic kingdoms, such as in the German and Norse myths (as Weiland and Volund). The other reason why Wayland is found in this page, instead of the German Heroes page, because my only information comes from a Norse (Icelandic) source where he was known as Volund, in the Poetic Edda.
Though the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf would fall under English literature and legend, the scene was set in Scandinavia: Denmark and later in southern Sweden. So, I set these characters here in the Norse Heroes instead of the German Heroes page.
Please note that I have moved all Norse heroines (and Valkyries) to the new Valkyries page. And some heroes can be found on the German Heroes page.
