Gambara is a Germanic wise woman (also called priestess or seeress) who appears in several sources from the 8th to 12th centuries. The legend is about the origin of the Langobard people, then known as the Winnili, and it takes place either before they emigrated from Scandinavia or after their migration, having settled in modern-day northern Germany. It relates that Assi and Ambri, the leaders of their neighbours the Vandals, demanded that Ibor and Agio, the leaders of the Winnili, pay tribute to them, but their mother Gambara advised them not to. Before the battle, the Vandals called on Odin (Godan) to give them victory, but Gambara invoked Odin's wife Frea (Frigg and/or Freyja) instead. Frea advised them to trick her husband, by having the Winnili women spread their hair in front of their

  • Gambara ist eine weibliche literarische Figur aus der Stammsage (Origo gentis) des germanischen Volks der Langobarden. Nach der Origo Gentis Langobardorum und der Historia Langobardorum (I 3, 7, 8) des Paulus Diakonus wird Gambara als Mutter der mythischen dioskurischen Stammesanführer Ybor (Ibor) und Agio (Ajo) geschildert. In der Gesta Danorum (VII, 28) des Saxo Grammaticus erscheint Gambara in einer namentlichen Variante als Gambaruc und als Mutter von Aggo und Ebbo. Gambara rettet die Langobarden durch ihren Einsatz bei der Göttin Frea vor dem Angriff der den Wodan verehrenden Wandalen und erwirkte dadurch den Sieg ihrer Söhne. (de)

Frea advised them to trick her husband, by having the Winnili women spread their hair in front of their faces so as to look bearded and present themselves as warriors. When Odin saw them, he was embarrassed and asked who the "long-beards" (longobarbae) were, and thus naming them he became their godfather and had to grant them victory. The legend has parallels in Norse mythology, where Frigg also deceives her husband in earthly politics. (en)
