What does Beowulf tell Wiglaf he wants his burial mound to be called?

Answer 1

In the novel Beowulf, the character Beowulf asks for a tower to be made for him because in that time period, it was a symbol of importance and power. By having his own tower, Beowulf would always be remembered as powerful and intimidating.

Answer 2

First things first: there is archaeological evidence that at least some of the people and events in the poem are real... for example, the barrow identified by tradition as Eadgil's contained artifacts supporting his description in the Beowulf saga.

That said, there's so far no actual proof that Beowulf himself was more than simply a fictional character, and even if he did exist, it's pretty clear that at least some of his exploits are... at least exaggerated.

In the story, he is buried in a tumulus (burial mound) "by the sea" in Geatland, which is today part of Sweden. Birger Nerman, a Swedish archaeologist, has identified a barrow in the village of Skalunda as being likely the one referred to in the poem, though this barrow has not been excavated yet.
