Beo Wulf, Monster Terrorizer
(495-584)
Beo Wulf (a.k.a. Beo the Bold), leader of the Geats for some 50
years beginning in 533, died ten days ago from injuries resulting
from a battle with the dragon Grumpagrowlowlowl. He was 88.
During a ceremonial burial today, his ashes, along with the loot
he had captured from Grumpagrowlowlowl, were deposited at Horse
Surround Tower, built in his honor. The service was highlighted
by twelve high-ranking Geat warriors riding their horses around
the tower while praising his memory.
Wextan's son Wiglaf, Wulf's sole companion at the end, reported
his final words, which included,
"I can die, here,
Knowing the Lord of all life has never
Watched me wash my sword in blood
Born of my own family."
Wulf came to prominence at the Hall of Hrothgar the Dane in Herot
about 515, defeating the monster Grendel shortly after arriving
from his king and cousin Higlac. Wulf also conquered Grenma, the
spawner of Grendel. He later accompanied Higlac on his
expedition against the Franks and Frisians in 521. He humbly
served under Herdred until Higlac's heir died in conflict against
Onela the Swede. Wulf promptly exacted revenge by slaying Onela.
Thereafter, Wulf ruled without being threatened until having to
deal with the dragon.
His unofficial interests included crafting purse clips.
Son of Edgetho, Wulf had no progeny, but left his mantle of
leadership to Wiglaf in the form of his gold-covered helmet, his
rings, and his mail shirt.
Contributions, in lieu of dragon lair residue, may be sent to the
Hall of Hrothgar Restoration Fund.
