| Beowulf |
At the beginning of Beowulf, King Hrothgar is haunted by the demon Grendel. Everyone in his mead-hall, Heorot, is killed when Grendel comes at night. Beowulf, the Geat, hears about this and goes to Hrothgar's aid. He waits for Grendel at night. When the demon arrives, Beowulf battles with him and defeats him by ripping off his arm. Beowulf and Hrothgar have a huge feast, after which they all go to sleep. Grendel's mother is enraged and comes to the mead-hall, and kills the people inside. Hrothgar found that Grendel's mother has killed one of his best men and is terribly distraught. Beowulf goes to avenge all the people who were murdered by Grendel's mother.
