Grimhild was a beautiful but evil woman. She was the sorceress who gave Sigurd a magic potion that made him forget that he ever married his wife Brynhild, so that he would marry Gudrun, her daughter. But she did not stop there. She wanted her son Gunnar to marry Brynhild, but she refused to marry him, and she would only marry the man who could cross the ring of flames she put up around herself. So Grímhild talked Sigurd into helping Gunnar marry Brynhild. Since Sigurd was the only one who could cross the flames he and Gunnar switched bodies, so Gunnar's body could cross the flames. Brynhild then married Gunnar, because she made a promise. When Brynhild learned that Sigurd had betrayed her with another woman (Gudrun), not knowing he had been bewitched into doing so by Grímhild, she was out to get revenge. She ended up killing Sigurd and herself by the end of the saga. Grímhild then made Gudrun marry Brynhild's brother Atli. Gudrun didn't want to marry him because she knew he would end up killing her brothers. This is the last that we hear of Grímhild in the Völsunga saga; it is probable that the ring's curse also brings misfortune and even death upon Grímhild herself.
