The Geats were a North Germanic tribe inhabiting what is now Götaland ("land of the Geats") in modern Sweden.
The Geats' sworn enemies were the Swedes, particularly King Ongentheow, who is described in the epic poem Beowulf as a fierce rival of the Geats.
He is a member of the Geats, in present day that would be Sweden.

The new King of the Geats after Beowulf's death is Wiglaf, who was Beowulf's loyal companion and supporter in his final battle against the dragon. Wiglaf is praised for his courage and loyalty in standing by Beowulf until the end.

It is mentioned in the epic poem "Beowulf" that Grendel kills 30 geats in Hrothgar's hall, Heorot.

Wulfgar requests that the Geats leave their weapons outside the hall because it was a sign of trust and hospitality in Norse culture. By relinquishing their weapons, the Geats demonstrate that they come in peace and mean no harm to their hosts.
The Danes wouldn't need to sew shrouds for the Geats if Grendel triumphs because it would mean that all the Geats had been killed by Grendel, and there would be no bodies left to bury and therefore no need for shrouds.
Before the dragon attacks the Geats in the epic poem Beowulf, a slave steals a golden cup from the dragon's hoard. This action angers the dragon and leads to its destructive rampage on the land of the Geats.
