Beowulf The long poem was
written in Anglo-Saxon in England ca. A. D. 1000. The tale could be as old as A. D. 650. The poem recounts
the heroic feats of Beowulf, a leader of the
Gaets, a tribe in the area of present-day Gothenburg in
Sweden. Beowulf goes
to Denmark to rid the country of Grendel, the savage half-human monster. After slaying Grendel he slays Grendel's vengeful mother. Beowulf is King
of the Gaets for next 50 years. Beowulf slays
a dragon that is terrorizing the countryside
and suffers fatal wounds in the fight. Regions and tribes in the poem Beowulf Excerpt from episode 1 of the BBC documentary series Seven Ages of Britain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsUM1qk2y_o
