The Danes.
the geats
Beowulf's 11 men were called the Geats. They were a tribe from southern Sweden and were loyal warriors who accompanied Beowulf on his journey to fight Grendel.
He is a member of the Geats, in present day that would be Sweden.
In "Beowulf," Higlac dies in battle while leading an attack against the Franks, a neighboring tribe. He is killed, leaving Beowulf as his successor as king.
Beowulf killed Grendal and later Grendals mother came to revenge his death
In the story of Beowulf, his family includes his father Ecgtheow, his uncle Hygelac, and his distant relative Hrothgar, the king of the Danes. Beowulf is also part of the Geat tribe, and his loyalty to his people is a central theme in the epic.
Hrothgar is the King of the Danes that is helped by Beowulf, But he is descended from Scyld Sceafing. The term Danes come from the term Scyldings or Scyld danes. So the first Ruler of the Danes was Scyld Sceafing. The second was his son Beowulf the Dane.
Yes.Beowulf was a Geat, a north Germanic tribe inhabiting a part of Sweden today known as Götaland (land of the Geats).
they laughed at him
The Gauts, also known as the Geats, were a Germanic tribe that lived in what is now southern Sweden. They are historically significant for their mention in works like Beowulf, where the hero Beowulf is described as a Geatish warrior from this tribe. The Gauts are often associated with a rich warrior culture and played a role in the early medieval history of Scandinavia. Their legacy continues to influence modern understanding of Germanic tribal history.
No he is a Geat. However, in the Epic Poem there is another character known as Beowulf the Dane sometimes just called Beow. He was the Son of Scyld Sceafing and was King of the Danes. He was Father to Haelfdane and Grandfather to Hrothgar.
According to a television show I saw decades ago, Teneha is a Native American name meaning, "Golden Demon." It referred to a mountain lion terrorizing a settlement. The tribe placement was Pacific Northwest. I've never seen/heard this name elsewhere.
