Beowulf tries using Hrunting, the sword the Danes had given him, to attack Grendel's mother because the mother wanted to avenge her son's death and was followed into her home in the lake by Beowulf. Beowulf's weapon was Hrunting and so he tried attacking the mom because of her previous actions (avenging the death of her son Grendel- the monster Beowulf killed- by killing a close friend of the king Hrothgar who's men were killed by Grendel, and retrieving Grendel's arm that hung from the rafters of Herot after the battle when Beowulf hung it there from tearing it off Grendel).
