King Hrothgar of Denmark builds a great mead-hall and names it Heorot. The warriors celebrate great success in the Heorot that happens to neighbor the swamp where Grendel lives. Grendel and his Mother are disturbed by the noise and they begin terrorizing Hrothgar's kingdom. With mass destruction, the tales of Grendel spread throughout the Germanic land. After many years of fear, torture, and death, geatish hero named Beowulf heard of the challenge, took his men and traveled to Denmark. Warriors doubt Beowulf's strength. As Beowulf tells the warriors about his accomplishments, Grendel, the swamp demon arrives. Beowulf fights him with bare hands, rips his arm off and Grendel passes later that night. Grendel's Mother comes out of the swamp to seek revenge and kills Aeschere, Hrothgar's trusted adviser. Beowulf goes to her swamp, and kills her underwater with a sword. Beowulf puts the Danish land at peace, and he is considered their hero. He says his goodbye's to King Hrothgar, a father figure to him and he goes back to Geatland and tells King Hygelac and Queen Hygd about his adventure and shares his treasures. King Hygelac later dies in war, then his son took throne. When his son passed, Beowulf took throne of the Geats. For fifty years, he rules the Geats with much Germanic culture and manner. There was peace and prosperity in Geatland until one day someone disturbs the fire-breathing dragon protecting treasure. Out of anger, the dragon starts destructing Geatland. Beowulf, an old wise king, has one thing. Courage. He approaches the dragon with Wiglaf and begins fighting. Beowulf takes a venomous bite to the neck and dies after they defeat the Dragon. He's buried with his treasure overlooking the Sea.
