_Gudrun_ was first edited by von der Hagen in vol. i. of his _Heldenbuch_ (1820). Subsequent editions by A. Ziemann and A. J. Vollmer followed in 1837 and 1845. The best editions are those by K. Bartsch (4th ed., 1880), who has also edited the poem for Kurschner's _Deutsche Nationalliteratur_ (vol. 6, 1885), by B. Symons (1883) and by E. Martin (2nd ed., 1901). L. Ettmuller first applied Lachmann's ballad-theory to the poem (1841), and K. Mullenhoff (_Kudrun, die echten Teile des Gedichts_, 1845) rejected more than three-quarters of the whole as "not genuine." There are many translations of the epic into modern German, the best known being that of K. Simrock (15th ed., 1884). A translation into English by M. P. Nichols appeared at Boston, U.S.A., in 1889. See K. Bartsch, _Beitrage zur Geschichte und Kritik der Kudrun_ (1865); H. Keck, _Die Gudrunsage_ (1867); W. Wilmanns, _Die Entwickelung der Kudrundichtung_ (1873); A. Fecamp, _Le Poeme de Gudrun, ses origines, sa formation et son histoire_ (1892); F. Panzer, _Hilde-Gudrun_ (1901). For later versions and adaptations of the saga see O. Benedict, _Die Gudrunsage in der neueren Literatur_ (1902.) GUEBRIANT, JEAN BAPTISTE BUDES, COMTE DE (1602-1643), marshal of France, was born at Plessis-Budes, near St Brieuc, of an old Breton family. He served first in Holland, and in the Thirty Years' War he commanded from 1638 to 1639 the French contingent in the army of his friend Bernard of Saxe-Weimar, distinguishing himself particularly at the siege of Breisach in 1638. Upon the death of Bernard he received the command of his army, and tried, in conjunction with J. Baner (1596-1641), the Swedish general, a bold attack upon Regensburg (1640). His victories of Wolfenbuttel on the 29th of June 1641 and of Kempen in 1642 won for him the marshal's baton. Having failed in an attempt to invade Bavaria in concert with Torstensson he seized Rottweil, but was mortally wounded there on the 17th of November 1643. A biography was published by Le Laboureur, _Histoire du mareschal de Guebriant_, in 1656. See A. Brinzinger in _Wurttembergische Vierteljahrschrift fur Landesgeschichte_ (1902).
