Note to Anon (Vǫls) 4VIII (Vǫls 24)

[5] hlýri þinn ‘your brother’: That is, Gunnarr, son of King Gjúki and his wife Grimhildr. In the Volsung legend Guðrún is his sister, and is married to Sigurðr, while Brynhildr is herself married to Gunnarr and has been deceived into thinking that it was he who broke through the flame wall to woo her, when it was actually Sigurðr in Gunnarr’s shape.
