| Info: | 9th Chieftain of the Ai-thúda |
Gundáric was the 9th Chieftain of the Ai-thúda. He was the son of Gundahári, and was a Northman of the Ai-thúda tribe. Gundáric was an adventurous youth, and had bragged that he would one day be the first Man to enter Gundabad and behold the wonders within. Two years into his reign, he defied the warnings of his advisors, including his younger brother Hildáric. The fool rode to the Mountain-holds' gates and was never seen again. The chieftaincy passed to his brother Hildáric, but matters grew complicated six months later when Bryngertha, Gundáric's widow, gave birth to a son. She called the boy Gundobad, a play on the name of the hall where his father had vanished. When he was born, Hildáric promised to cede lordship to him once he came of age.
