File:Sigurd the Dragonslayer - A Viking Rune Stone

설명
The dragonslayer Sigurd was an ancestral figure and archetype for Germanic aristocracy.

Sigurdsristningen in Sweden is the Ramsund carving (Sigurd stone) made in the early 11th century in memorial of a man named Sigröd by the command of his widow Sigriþr – the names of these aristocrats suggest that these people believed themselves descendants of Sigurd who was himself descended from Odin.

Sigurd’s story is famous around Europe, it is most well-known from the Old Norse sources Þiðrekssaga and Völsunga saga as well as the medieval German Nibelungenlied in which Sigurd is known as Siegfried – this was the inspiration for Richard Wagner’s Ring cycle opera. In Beowulf, Sigurd’s grandfather Volsung is referred to in Old English as Wæls.
