"Many of the persons mentioned in the table of Beowulf are also mentioned in historical records and annals". The story is set in Scandinavia .
Beowulf , a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar , the king of the
Danes , whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel . After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated. Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland (Götaland in modern Sweden) and becomes king of the Geats. Fifty years later, Beowulf defeats a dragon, but is mortally wounded in the battle. After his death, his attendants cremate his body and erect a tower on a headland in his memory.
