=== Guðrún's last marriage ===
Guðrún and Sigurd's daughter is [[Svanhildr|Svanhild]], radiantly beautiful. Guðrún goes to the sea to drown herself after killing Atli, but she gets swept away to the court of King [[Jonakr's sons|Jonakr]], who marries her. They have [[Jonakr's sons|three sons]]: Hamdir, Sorli, and Erp. Svanhild is raised with them.

King [[Ermanaric|Jormunrek]] wants to marry Svanhild, but Bikki convinces Jormunrek's son [[Randver]] that he would be a better match for her than his father, so he and Svanhild marry. Upon Bikki's advice, Jormunrek hangs Randver and has horses trample Svanhild to death.

Guðrún encourages her sons to kill Jormunrek and avenge Svanhild. Her sons ask Erp if he will help them kill Jormunrek, but he gives an ambivalent answer they misunderstand as arrogance, so they kill him, coming to regret it afterwards. They meet Jormunrek and cut off his hands and feet, but Erp would have cut off Jormunrek's head, which would have kept Jormunrek from calling for his [[housecarl]]s. The housecarls are unable to kill Guðrún's sons with sharp weapons. Odin then appears as an old one-eyed man and advises Jormunrek's housecarls to have the avengers killed with stones, which they do.
