Freawaru Timeline and Summary
MoreFreawaru 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.
