∙ 13y agoNo, Higlac is Beowulf's uncle. Beowulf is on of the Geats and Hrothgar is the king of the Danes. Beowulf just helps Hrothgar, although they become very good friends, and Hrothgar seems to become a sort of father figure or role model to Beowulf when he leaves. Beowulf is also a role model to Hrothgar in the way that he is fearless.
No, Hrothgar was not Beowulf's uncle. Hrothgar was the king of the Danes, and Beowulf was a Geat warrior who came to help Hrothgar by defeating the monster Grendel. They were not directly related.
