Everything in the Völsung cycle that this registry already held — Sigurd's death, Brynhildr on the pyre, Gudrún feeding her children to their father, Jǫrmunrekkr, Svanhild under the horses — proceeds from a bag of gold this man demanded as compensation for an otter. He is the first link and he was not in the corpus.
