What does beowulf's way of identifying himself suggest about the values of a warrior culture?
Honor, battle skills and bravery were all part of the warrior culture. Beowulf arrived in army gear with his men, and immediately gave the impression he was a capable warrior. He stressed the importance of obtaining honor and presented his hero credentials. He had won battles and slain monsters. He also expressed a desire to fight Grendel barehanded since the monster did not use weapons, another sign of Beowulf's sense of honor.

Why shouldnt harald hardrada be king?
Harold Hardrada was the king of Norway. His claim to the throne of England was very complex and rather dubious. Hardrada was the half-brother of King Olaf II of Norway who had been deposed by King Canute of Denmark and England in 1030 when Hardrada was just 15. When Canute died in 1035 his empire was divided between hs sons. England was ruled by Harold "Harefoot" and Denmark by Harthacanute. Norway, however, reverted back to its original dynasty in the guise of Magnus the Good, an illegitimate son of Olaf II. When Harold Harefoot died in 1035, Harthacanute ruled both Denmark and England. After this King Magnus of Norway and King Harthacanute of Denmark and England made a deal which stipulated that whichever king should die first the survivor should rule all three kingdoms (Denmark, Norway and England). Harthacanute died first, and in 1042 and Magnus moved to take over Denmark. However he was frustrated in England because the exiled Anglo-Saxon royal dynasty returned from exile (in Normandy) and Edward the Confessor became king. When Magnus of Norway and Denmark died in 1046 he was succeeded on the Norwegian throne by Harold Hardrada, although Denmark now went its separate way. Nevertheless, the new Norwegian king maintained his predecessors claims to both England and Denmark. When Edward the Confessor died in early 1066 he was succeeded on the English throne by Harold Godwinson, known as King Harold II of England. However his little brother, Tostig Godwinson, was a treacherous malcontent who had been the Earl of Northumbria but had been deposed after ruling his domain so badly the people had revolted against him. His brother refused to help him and without land or power he reckoned he would get a better deal by allying himself with Harold Hardrada of Norway (also known as Harold III of Norway) and helping him seize the throne of England. At the Battle of Stamford Bridge - just outside York - on September 20th 1066, Tostig and Harold Hardrada defeated the men of Northumbria. King Harold II of England was then forced to march north away from the south coast (which he had been guarding in anticipation of a Norman invasion) and met Hardrada and Tostig in battle at Stamford Bridge on 25 September just five days later. Hardrada and Tostig were both slain. However, it was a "pyrrhic victory" because the much weakened English army, forced to return all the way back to Sussex was defeated by Duke William of Normandy not long afterwards on 14 October at the Battle of Hastings.
What Little round top commander who ordered a bayonet charge?
Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain of the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry, who was then under the command of Colonel Strong Vincent, ordered a downhill bayonet charge against the Confederate 15th Alabama and, it is thought, elements of the 4th and 5th Texas, when his troops' ammunition was exhausted and they were facing another charge up Little Round Top (which, by the way, was not called that by the troops at the time; it was simply an isolated Union army Signals post before being occupied) by the Confederate infantry. The Confederates, also exhausted by their repeated uphill charges in the attempt to take the hill, and short on ammunition as well, were surprised and overwhelmed by the charge and were defeated, with many being captured, including their commander. It is believed by some military historians that this action saved the day for the Union army at Gettysburg, as the 20th Maine represented the "end of the line," the extreme left flank of the Union army, and had they been overwhelmed the Confederates would have rolled up the New York and Pennsylvania infantry also occupying the hill, and ultimately have threatened the positions at Cemetery Ridge and Cemetery Hill. Other historians dispute this claim, with some justification, given the ineffectiveness of the Confederate cavalry Corps, led by J.E.B. Stuart, for the first two days, due to vague orders given by General Lee to General Stuart, as well as the splitting of the slain General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's Corps into two Corps commanded by generals witb insufficient experience and initiative. It is left to the reader to make a determination as to which viewpoint is correct. It is the view of this writer that it was a combination of elements which led to the defeat of the Army of Northern Virginia at Gettysburg, and that the inability to take Little Round Top was not the signal failure which led to the ultimate outcome, but rather one of a series of elements which, taken together, led to the Union victory.
How much did King George III pay the Hessian soldiers?
King George III paid the Hessian soldiers nothing. Nobody paid them anything. George III rented them from their petty tyrant overlord, the Margrave of Hesse, at so much per head, with an indemnity clause in the agreement for any killed, again, payable to the overlord. The families of the slain got nothing. The British had first approached Catherine The Great of Russia about renting troops, but she decided against it. At that time Germany did not exist as a nation. Where Germany is on the map today were dozens of "Germanic States", including a few fairly sizable ones, but a great many which were little more than city-states. Each had its own little tin pot absolute monarch. The main business in several of these was the "soldaten handel" - the "soldier trade". Every male citizen on reaching the age of majority was subject to compulsory military service, which in the ancient tradition, was not a paid occupation. The idea of paying soldiers occurred to some nations in the 1600s, but these Germanic States were holding the line. Their overlord would then rent their services to any other monarch in need who had the coin to pay. Though these troops were usually called "Hessians" they were actually from about six of these little principalities: Hesse-Kassel, Hesse-Hanau, Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel, Waldeck, Ansbach-Bayreuth, and Anhalt-Zerbst. In Europe they were expected to plunder where they went, if they wanted anything for themselves, and they enthusiastically applied themselves to this activity in America. Many had brought along their women, who were notorious as being even more greedy and rapacious than the men. When Washington attacked the Hessians at Trenton the day after Christmas in 1776, the first thing the Hessians did was to start their wagon train of plunder (stolen wagons pulled by stolen horses, loaded with every sort of stolen household item imaginable) out of town to the southeast, but, sadly for the Hessians, it fell into American hands anyway. About 30,000 Hessians were sent to America, and only about 17,000 went home. There were official inquiries in one or two of the little city-states as to why His Majesty's assets were so depleted. About 1,200 were killed in action, about 6, 300 died of illness or accidents, and about 5,000 took a look around and decided that staying in American where they could be free was a very good idea, and so deserted and remained here.
