Editing Gudrun (section)

===Attachment to the legend of Ermanaric and Svanhild===
The attachment of Gudrun's legend to that of [[Ermanaric]] (Jǫrmunrek) and [[Svanhildr|Svanhild]] is a Scandinavian innovation that brings this legend into direct contact with the more famous legend of Sigurd.{{sfn|Millet|2008|pp=307–38}} Edward Haymes and Susan Samples believe that it is a relatively late development.{{sfn|Haymes|Samples|1996|p=126}} Other scholars date it to the tenth century, however, on the basis of a version of the story cited in the [[Skaldic poem]] ''[[Ragnarsdrápa]]'': the narrator there refers to Ermanaric's killers as descendants of Gjúki, Gudrun's father.{{sfn|Glauser|1999|p=475}} This poem is attributed to the poet [[Bragi Boddason]], who lived in the tenth century, although other scholars date it instead to around 1000 and believe that the attribution to Bragi is incorrect.{{sfn|McTurk|2003|p=115}}
