Sigurd’s sword was known as Gram. This sword was used as a symbol of honor during Sigurd’s lifetime. It was also placed between him and Brynhild on the funeral pyre. Afterwards, it was no longer mentioned in the manuscripts. However, there are many stories that surround the sword.
Sigmund’s sword
A legend tells of the mysterious Sigmund’s sword. It is said to have come from the forest. Sigmund had been chained to the forest-ways. When he woke up in the morning, he saw a great wolf and was snuffling its honey. The great wolf put down its tongue to lick over Sigmund’s face, but Sigmund grabbed it and struggled with the wolf. The wolf struggled and broke the chain, and Sigmund was able to cut the great wolf’s jaws with the sword.
When they returned to the shore, Sigmund and his sword were reunited. Sigmund had trained Sinfiotli to be an outlaw. He was fierce, but never spoke a false word. The two of them came across an ominous house in the dark wood. They found two men in deep sleep, and Sigmund saw their arms were covered with heavy gold rings.
Sigmund is a Norse mythological hero and a son of Volsung. His most famous son Sigurd, however, is named after Sigmund. While these tales have no connection with each other, there are several tales about the broken sword.
Sigmund was the youngest Volsung. Siggeir had spread out tables in the Hall of the Branstock for his guests. While the guests were enjoying the horns of mead, a stranger came into the hall with a higher bearing than the rest of the guests. He drank the horn and then drew a sword from his blue cloak.
Gram the Sword of Grief
The Volsunga Saga is not particularly clear on what the Sword of Grief actually looks like, but it does mention that it is “decked with gold and gleaming bright”, and that Sigurd’s other weapons are also golden. The description isn’t complete, as it also doesn’t mention if Gram has a dragon emblazoned on it. Its color is also vague – it may be brown or even red.
The Volsunga Saga is a mythical tale that is often adapted into comic books. In one story, a sage named Regin plots to kill Sigurd and he hears this plot and cuts off Regin’s head with his own sword, Gram.
Gram had a dramatic role in the Agent of Asgard series. When Fafnir dies, he gives Gram to his son. Gram was infused with truth magic and Thor uses it to defeat the evil Loki in the future. Later, Sigurd steals it back and uses it to alter his own fate.
The story of Gram’s origins is a myth. In the Volsunga Saga, Gram was originally owned by Sigmund, who pulled the sword from Odin’s log. It was then destroyed and reforged. In the story, the Gram is also known as the Balmung and Nothung.
Sigmund’s son
A story tells how Volsung, the great-grandson of Odin, dipped Sigurd’s sword in a great oak tree and then promised it to whoever drew it. The sword was found only by Sigmund, who was able to draw it.
It was a great sword, a powerful weapon that Sigmund hoped to use against his enemies. His father died in a battle before his birth, and his mother collected the shards of the king’s sword and kept them safely in her home. This sword was of great value to her, and she hid it from all but a few of her family members. The young king knew that people were counting on him to be a hero.
The dragon Fafnir was one of the creatures that Regin feared. Afterwards, Regin plotted to kill him. The dragon was slain and his sword was renamed Gram, after his father. It was also used to kill the wolf Fang, who had been a threat to Sigurd.
Sigurd and Regin worked together to sculpt the great sword. They smashed the anvil with the first blade, but the second was broken as well. The pieces of the sword were reunited, and Odin gave them to the son of Sigmund. In return for the sword, Sigurd was told of the mighty dragon Fafnir and was entrusted with the task of slaying Fafnir.
