The Nibelungenlied
Siegfried comes to Worms to win Kriemhild, and helps her brother Gunther trick the warrior queen Brunhild into marriage; years later the two women quarrel in public over which of them ranks first. The quarrel puts Siegfried's life into the hands of Hagen, Gunther's man, and Kriemhild spends decades preparing an answer. The hoard that drowns a whole court in blood.
