The Volsunga Saga is related to the Germanic Nibelungunleid and was retold by Tolkein as The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun.

The music is the opening of Gastcyning by Sowulo who make Viking-inspired folk music (obviously I wish I could have used authentic early Icelandic music but...) youtube.com/watch?v=p8HVVdv_Hl4
The dragon pictures were created by Viking Tattoo on Deviant Art deviantart.com/vikingtattoo/art/Viking-Dragon-Outline-2011-195872557
All of the other pictures were taken by me in Norway mostly in Oslo's Viking Ship Museum and Cultural museum https://www.khm.uio.no/english/visit-us/viking-ship-museum/
