In any case, the story of a child in a boat, which elsewhere applies to Scef applies to Scyld in "Beowulf". After relating in general terms the glories of Scyld's reign, the poet describes Scyld's funeral, how his body was laid in a ship surrounded by treasures, the poet explains: No less these loaded the lordly gifts, thanes' huge treasure, than those had done who in former time forth had sent him sole on the seas, a suckling child.
Axel Olrik in suggested a parallel "barley-figure" in Finnish Pekko , in turn connected by Fulk with Eddaic Bergelmir.

He must cross into the keeping of the Lord. Many years ago he came to them, the Danish people. They found him on the beach in a boat no bigger than a shield, a child without clothing, surrounded by presents. No one knew who had sent him across the sea, but he lived and grew and gained respect until they made him their King, and all the tribes living nearby had to obey him.
No enemy dared to attack , and he gave gifts gladly to his followers. A foundling, he became the first king in the Danish royal line. He is the father of Beow , and the great-grandfather of Hrothgar. The editors of Bosworth's monumental dictionary of Anglo-Saxon propose that Beowulf is a variant of beado-wulf meaning "war wolf" and that it is cognate with the Icelandic Bodulfr which also means "war wolf".
Grendel's mother avenges Grendel's death at the hands of the humans. In Herot, the humans are celebrating the end of the twelve year blood bath from the feuds with Grendel. However, their revelry abruptly comes to an end when Grendel's mother comes to Herot to avenge her child's death. The epic poem Beowulf opens with approximately 50 lines devoted to Scyld Scefing , the legendary first king of the Danes.
Scyld is represented as the ideal ruler of a heroic age: generous, wise, and fierce in battle. He brings stability and prosperity to the Danes, vanquishing their enemies. Beowulf found a giant sword in the back of the cavern and ran his finger along its biting edge.
In answer to the noise, the dead Grendel reared up and leaped at Beowulf. Beowulf swung the sword and cut Grendel's head right off. So, in the movie, Angelina Jolie plays Grendel's mother, and she is portrayed as a beautiful seductress, and neither Hrothgar nor Beowulf can resist her.
The movie gives some vague subtle hints that Hrothgar had sex with Grendel's mother , and this is the reason why Hrothgar's wife won't sleep with him anymore.
King Hrothgar The king of the Danes. A wise and aged ruler, Hrothgar represents a different kind of leadership from that exhibited by the youthful warrior Beowulf. He is a father figure to Beowulf and a model for the kind of king that Beowulf becomes. In the film based off the poem, the dragon is a shapeshifting Wyvern-like creature and is the son of Beowulf and Grendel's Mother. There are some indications that Beowulf married Queen Hygd after she becomes a widow, but it is not well fleshed out in the text.
The rebuttal is an enormous success; before he ever faces Grendel, Beowulf proves that he is a man to be reckoned with. The ensuing battle nearly destroys Heorot but ends with a victory for Beowulf.
He rips Grendel's right claw from its shoulder socket, mortally wounding the beast and sending him scurrying in retreat.
