To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They " took from Ongentheow his iron-byrnie, his hard-hilted " sword, and his helmet together ; they bare to Hygelac the " armour of the hoary warrior. He received the war-gear, " and fairly promised them rewards among the people, and "so he performed. The lord of the Geats, the son of 7 The " ensign to Hygelac " corresponds to the modern flag of truce ; and the " peaceful plain " was the space left unoccupied by the opposed forces, while proposals for peace were under consideration.
HYGELAC AN...D HIS FAMILY. 43 " Hrethel, when he came home, paid Eofer and Wulf for the " battle-onslaught. Besides treasures, he gave to either of " them a hundred thousand of land, and locked rings ; nor " needed any man on earth upbraid them for the gift, since " they won glory in battle. And then he gave to Eofer " his only daughter, a dignity to his home, a pledge of " affection. " 8 From these two passages we learn, that Ongentheow long before had carried off Haethcyn's bride, who became his queen, and the mother of his sons Onela and Ohthere ; and that, immediately after the death of their father, Hsethcyn and Hygelac led an armament over sea, to avenge the feud.
