Edgetho and Hrothgar are not friends. In the epic poem "Beowulf," Edgetho is Beowulf's father and Hrothgar is the king of the Danes whom Beowulf helps by defeating the monster Grendel. There is no indication of friendship between Edgetho and Hrothgar in the poem.

How did hrothgar know ecgtheowbeowulf's father?

On page 33 of Seamus Heaney's bilingual edition of "Beowulf", the narrator explains that Hrothgar paid a debt on behalf of Beowulf's father, Ecgtheow. Ecgtheow began a feud after killing a Wulfing. This provoked fear among the Geats, Ecgtheow's people, and they forced him to leave. So he ran away to the land of the South-Danes, Hrothgar's kingdom. Hrothgar was meanwhile "in the first flush of kingship". Hrothgar assuaged the matter by shipping a treasure-trove to the Wulfings. After this, Ecgtheow paid Hrothgar his allegiance.
