1. Jarmeric, a Danish King.
2. Swawilda (= Swanhild), wife of Jarmeric.
3. Hellespontine brothers, brothers of Swawilda.
4. Bicco, a servant of Jarmeric.
Bicco accuses Swawilda to Jarmeric of unfaithfulness. He causes her
to be torn to pieces by wild horses. Then her brothers kill Jarmeric
with the help of a witch, Gudrun, hewing off his hands and feet.
These three stories are evidently based on one common original.
