Hagbard and Signy
The Volsung Cycle is the name of a series of Germanic legends based on the same matter as Niebelungenlied, and which were recorded in medieval Iceland.

The Icelandic matter is, however, greatly expanded with native Scandinavian traditions, such as that of Helgi Hundingsbane, which originally appears to have been a separate tradition, that of the Ylfings.
