Despite these differing contexts, several parallels in the poems’ content—many of which they share with that of other early-medieval continental and insular sources as well as Old Norse saga and Eddic literature—indicate that these narratives did not emerge in isolation. Within this complex of source material, the prevalence of concepts such as the Goth-Hun conflict, the reign and fall of the Gothic king Ermanaric, and the movements and conflicts of early-medieval peoples and their leaders suggests that the events of the Migration Period gave rise to a wider tradition of legends and folklore that spread across early-medieval Northern Europe, evolving both independently and through contact across vast tracts of ...
