Gondul

Gondul, one of Odin's fair battle-maidens, rode with the other Valkyries out to the battlefields and chose between the bold warriors fallen in fight and brang them to Valhalla and Folkvang.

Gondul and Skogul were also sent by Odin to choose, who of the Ynglings should come to Valhalla.

Her name also appears in kennings for battle.
