The “Song of the Nibelungs” (Nibelungenlied) seems to have been the major medieval Germanic epic, composed – it is thought – by a Bavarian clergyman in the first half of the thirteenth century. The elements and characters of the poem are partly fantastic, partly legendary and partly historical. The poem narrated the deeds of the hero Siegfried, who takes possession of the treasure of the Nibelungs, a fantastic lineage of dwarves. This saga acquired European notoriety in the nineteenth century, when Richard Wagner made it the subject of his tetralogy “The Ring of the Nibelung”. This is a heavy Chess Board and Pieces as it is made from Bronze and Marble so shipping would be expensive – Circa 500 Euro to The USA.
