Walther appears as a character in epic poems such as Biterolf und Dietleib, Dietrichs Flucht, Alpharts Tod, the Rosengarten, and the Rabenschlacht. Significant allusions to his legend appear in the Nibelungenlied. There are, moreover, two tantalizing fragments (from Graz and Vienna) of a medieval German epic of Walther and Hildegund, which depicts the lovers' escape from the court of Attila the Hun and their felicitous homecoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first and only book of its kind, as it offers facing-page texts and translations of every medieval German reference to the Walther legend.
