Home > Gunn (Valkyrie)


In Norse mythology, Gunn was one of the Valkyries. Together with Rota and Skuld she attended the battle fields and chose those who were to be slain and taken to Valhalla. She is mentioned on the Rök Stone and in Snorri Sturluson's Edda.
Sá hon valkyrjur
vítt um komnar
görvar at ríđa
til GođŢjóđar:
Skuld hélt skildi,
en Skögul önnur,
Gunnr, Hildr, Göndul
ok Geirskögul;
nú eru talđar
nönnur Herjans,
görvar at ríđa
grund valkyrjur.
Voluspa.
