Aspilian

The giant living in the forest and mountains from Lungbardi (Lombardy), who appeared in Thidrekssaga (c. 1200).

Aspilian ravaged some of the farmlands owned by the local monastery. Aspilian challenged the abbot to send him a warrior to face him, if the monks wished to recover their stolen land.

At the time, the hero Heimir was staying in the monastery to repent from his past sins. Heimir once again took up his weapon, killing the giant with his sword, Naglhring.

Heimir was reunited with his old friend Thidrek when the king heard the news of the death of Aspilian.
