  • Gunther also called Gundicar, Gundicarius, Gunnar, Gundahar , or Guntharius Burgundian king (died 437) who was the hero of medieval legends. The historical Gunther led the Burgundians across the Rhine in the early 5th century, establishing a kingdom at Worms. He supported the imperial usurper Jovinus (411) and fell in battle against the Huns in 437. Gunther (called Gunnar) figures in the Eddaic poem Atlakvida, in which he is slain by Atli (Attila) the Hun and avenged by his sister, Atli's wife. In the 11th-century Latin poem Waltharius (q.v.), he and his warriors try unsuccessfully to kill the hero (Walter of Aquitaine) and steal his treasure. The 12th-century German epic Nibelungenlied associates him with Siegfried, who helps Gunther to win Brunhild and in return marries Gunther's sister Kriemhild. When Siegfried is later killed on Gunther's order, Kriemhild revenges his death by having Gunther and his followers slain while visiting the court of her second husband, Etzel (Attila). See also Kriemhild. [Encyclopædia Britannica, online < http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?eu=39326> ] !NAME-CHILDREN-FATHER: ROYALTY FOR COMMONERS; Roderick W.

I'm wondering if Gometrude and Regintrude are not the same person? if not, then he had a fifth wife),-- The daughter Regintrude married to Theodo II, Duke o f Bavaria, Germany; ---(NOTE; Generations 53, Gundioc/Gunderic thru 57, Gibica are based on Latrie's research in 1886 (cf. Latrie), as recorded by Turton (Turton, 54) in 1928. Schwennicke (ES, I: 1), 1980 research, does not carry the lineage beyond Chilperic (Gen. 52); thus I record the line with the warning that Gen. 53-57 may prove to be unsound. (author).---
