“Gudrun”
[From my new “Viking Women Warriors” Opensea Collection: https://opensea.io/collection/vikingwomenwarriors]
Gudrun comes from the Old Norse words guð (god), rūn (rune or secret), and gunnr (battle) and could be translated to mean “god’s secret lore” or “secret battle”.
Gudrun was the wife of Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, who was a Viking warrior and a Danish king — J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of Rings, wrote two narrative poems about the relationship between Sigurd and Gudrun.
These poems were published in 2009 with the title The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun.
The name Gudrun is popular in Iceland, where it is perhaps best known due to Guðrún Ósvífsdóttir, a character in ancient Icelandic sagas.
