The Song of the Nibelungs: Part II: Kriemhild's Revenge

Many years after Siegfried's murder, Krimhild invites the killers: her brothers, Brunhilde, and Hagen von Tronje to Etzlburg near Vienna. In the meantime, she has married the powerful leader of the Huns. While her brothers believe the sincerity of Kriemhild's invitation and see it as a valuable diplomatic opportunity to negotiate with King Etzel, Hagen von Tronje and Brunhilde argue against it. To both the invitation is a trap set by Kriemhild to execute her revenge on them.

After an eventful journey through the bizarre Bavaria, King Gunter and Burgund's royalty and aldermen arrive at Ezelburg where they are welcomed by a hostile Krimhild. Making no secret of her intention, Kriemhild escalates the situation. Surprised by his wife's plans, Etzel tries to moderate the increasing tension, but soon loses control himself. What follows is a tale of incredible blood shed and slaughter, a tale of friends killing each other. A tale about oaths, loyalties, and reputation.
