Freawaru Timeline and Summary

  • Freawaru is introduced in relation to her cousin, Hrothulf. They get along pretty well together. Translation: they flirt awkwardly.
  • We learn that Freawaru is the daughter of Hrothgar's previous consort (she's not Wealtheow's daughter).
  • Hrothgar intends to "trade" Freawaru to Ingeld, King of the Heathobards, to form an alliance. He doesn't think it will really work.
  • When Beowulf and his thanes are dining in Hrothgar's meadhall, the old king tells the hero of his plans for Freawaru. Beowulf doesn't think it will work, either.
