Crossword-Solution: KUDRUN 6 letters, 10 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 11

Christopher is king of Arabia and Persia.[41] Even the folk-epic "Kudrun" knows of Hilde of India, Hagen's wife.[42] Again, wonderful things from India are abundant in this class of poetry.

The rhyming verse of Germany, foreign in its origin, continued to be applied for centuries in the rendering of German myths and heroic stories, sometimes in a style with more or less pretence to courtliness, as in the _Nibelungenlied_ and _Kudrun_; sometimes in open parade of the travelling minstrel's "public manners" and simple appetites.

The poems of the _Nibelungen_ and of _Kudrun_ are rightly honoured, but it was to the author of _Parzival_, and to the courtly lyrics of Walther von der Vogelweide, that the higher rank was given in the age of the Hohenstaufen, and the common fame is justified by history, so often as history chooses to have any concern with such things.

German, if not quite supreme in any way, gives an interesting and fairly representative example of a chapter of national literary history, less brilliant and original in performance than the French, less momentous and unique in promise than the English, but more normal than either, and furnishing in the epics, of which the _Nibelungenlied_ and _Kudrun_ are the chief examples, and in the best work of the Minnesingers, things not only of historical but of intrinsic value in all but the highest degree.

But on the whole, _Kudrun_, though an excellent story of adventure, is not a great poem in the sense in which the _Nibelungenlied_ is one.
