WS's Great Hall - What it could look like!

[Sinold Bragasson]

I recently got meself the movie "The Ring of the Nibelungs", a TV movie from 2004 about the classical German/Nordic saga about a ring, a treasure, loyalty and betrayal. It is also based on the Volsung Saga, from which Tolkien must have gotten much inspiration for his Lord of the Ring tale.

The Nibelungs takes place around the 7th century AD in Burgundy, nowaday a province of France but then an independent kingdom. The following pictures show the Great Hall of the castle of the Burgund King:

Still all in the Great Hall:

Lovely pics Sinny...... that is how I see the Hall in my mind's eye.... the hearth to sit upon, and the furs to snuggle beside the fire...... just for a while it would be wonderful to actually be there.... but of course with central heating and electricty etc etc

It's also how I've seen it in my minds eye! Very little furniture, only a chest here and there perhaps, a few chairs, the table... Only the hearth has been even bigger in my imagination. *G*
