Beowulf is an English epic whose author is unknown. Its history traces it back from the time when the Jutes, Angles and Saxon invaded England, around 1100 AD. Long before it was called England, since Angles and other barbarians and viking resided the place, they called it Angle-land until it became ENGLAND.
In the epic, Beowulf manifested to be a typical hero who travels for adventure. He then came to Hrothgar's Place. It was put to great terror by the monster named Grendel who devours the King's warrior after their merry making.
Beowulf was the only one who dared to hurt and kill Grendel. After slaying the monster, Grendel's mother went to haunt Beowulf as a revenge. During their battle, the monster died yet Beowulf was also hurt.
On his last adventure, Beowulf battled with a Dragon, wherein he died because his injury wasn't fully healed.
