===''Volsunga saga''=== In ''[[Volsunga saga]]'', Hodbrod appears much as he does in the ''Poetic Edda''. He is the son of King [[Granmar]] and the betrothed of Sigrun, daughter of [[Högne|King Hogni]]. He also has a brother, called Granmar like their father (equivalent to Guðmundr in ''Edda''). Sigrun rejects Hodbrod and urges [[Helgi Hundingsbane|King Helgi]] to kill him. Helgi builds up an army and sets out to attack Hodbrodd, who is now king. Hodbrod gathers his own allies in defence, including Hogni, and the two forces meet at Wolfstone. Helgi kills Hodbrod under his banner, and Sigrun celebrates his death.<ref>[https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1152/1152-h/1152-h.htm#link2HCH0009 The Story of the Volsungs], translated by William Morris and Eirikr Magnusson, Chapter 9</ref>
