In the Prose Edda (thirteenth century), the god Baldr (who was killed, not in battle, but after Loki tricked Baldr's brother into shooting him with an arrow made of mistletoe) is sent to Hel/Hela and kept in her realm. Baldr is even mentioned as "Hel's companion." When his brother Hermod negotiates for Baldr's release and resurrection, Hel/Hela's terms are that she will only release Baldr "If all things in the world, alive or dead, weep for him." When a giantess (who actually is Loki in disguise) refuses to weep for his death, Hel/Hela gets to keep her prize.
