Beowulf tells the tale of a young Danish warrior called Beowulf who goes to the aid of King Hroagar and his people, who are attacked by a half-man half-monster named Grendel. A furious battle ensues and Beowulf emerges as the victor, although Grendel’s mother, an equally savage creature ambushes the men, beginning a battle in which many lives are lost.
