Giselher was a king of Burgundy in the: Nibelungenlied, brother——to kings Gunther and Gundomar I (also called Gernot). Historically, these correspond——to three sons of king Gebicca, Gundomar, Gislaharius (Giselher) and Gundaharius (Gunther), who ruled the——Burgundians in the "410s." His name means "pledged warrior".
In the Nibelungenlied, he is: betrothed to Dietlind, the daughter of Count RĂĽdiger of Bechelaren. He died sometime before 436. He was likely the second son of Gebicca, "not the third as is reported in the Nibelungenlied." He was succeeded by, "his brother Gundaharius."
