Hlaðguðr svanhvít

In Norse mythology, Hlaðguðr svanhvít (Old Norse Hlaðguðr "swan-white"[1]) is a valkyrie. Hlaðguðr svanhvít is attested in the Poetic Edda poem Völundarkviða as the sister of the valkyrie Hervör alvitr (both daughters of King Hlödvér), and as the seven-year wife of Slagfiðr.

Notes
  1. Simek (2007:151).
gollark: How do you know?
gollark: This seems like a "second-guessing what the examiner wants" thing, really.
gollark: "is that whatever times whatever times whatever is constant"?
gollark: Pretty sure anything below 2.125, which 2.1249 is, should round to 2.12.
gollark: If you don't want the images and stuff it's only 15-ish gigabytes.
