Helgi Hiorvardsson

Helgi was the hero in the Eddaic poem, Helgakvida Hiorvardssonar. He was a son of Hiorvard and Sigrlinn. He was a half-brother of Hedin, son of Alfhild; of Humlung, son of Saereid; of Hymling, son of Sinriod.

In the beginning of the 2nd Helgakvida Hundingsbana, we are informed that Helgi, son of Sigmund (Helgi Sigmundarson, who was also known as Helgi Hundingsbani), was named after Helgi son of Hiorvard (Helgi Hiorvardsson). Then at the end of the same poem, we are informed that Helgi Sigmundarson was the reincarnation of Helgi Hiorvardsson.
