Jonakr's Sons
Hamdir (Old Norse: ), Sörli (O.N.: ), and Erpr (O.N.: ) were three brothers in Germanic heroic legend who have a historic basis in the history of the Goths. Legend According to the Edda and ''Völsunga saga'', Hamdir and Sörli were the sons of Gjuki's daughter Guðrún and King Jonakr (O.N.: ). Erpr was the son of Jonakr from an earlier marriage. Svanhildr, the daughter of Sigurðr and Guðrún, was also raised by Jonakr. King Jörmunrekr (Ermanaric) proposed to Svanhildr through his son Randver, but the treacherous Bicke said that Randver tried to win Svanhild's love. Consequently, Jörmunrekr sentenced Randver to death by hanging and had Svanhildr trampled to death by horses. Guðrún then agitated her sons Hamdir and Sörli to avenge their half-sister, and tells them not to hurt the stones on the road. When Sörli and Hamdir met Erpr en route, they did not understand his riddles and, thinking him arrogant, killed him. During the night, they arrived and they cut off Jör ...

Svanhildr
Svanhild is the beautiful daughter of Sigurd and Gudrun in Germanic heroic legend, whose grisly death at the hands of her jealous royal husband Ermanaric was told in many northern European stories, including the Old Norse ''Poetic Edda'' (''Hamðismál'' and ''Guðrúnarhvöt''), ''Prose Edda'', and ''Völsunga Saga''; the skaldic poem ''Ragnarsdrápa''; the Danish Latin ''Gesta Danorum''; and the German Latin ''Annals of Quedlinburg''. She was "the most beautiful of all women," and was married to Ermanaric (''Jörmunrekkr'') the king of the Goths. She was accused of infidelity with the king's son, Randver. Because of this Ermanaric had her trampled to death under horses. Her mother made her half-brothers Hamdir and Sörli exact revenge for her death, a story which is retold in ''Hamðismál'' and ''Guðrúnarhvöt'', Bragi Boddason's ''Ragnarsdrápa'', in the ''Völsunga saga'' and in ''Gesta Danorum''.
