		The Finnesburg Fragment is a fragment of an Old English poem of the type called a leoÃ°, or "lay." The existing text is a transcript of a loose manuscript folio that was once kept at Lambeth Palace, the London residence of the Archbishops of Canterbury; the manuscript was almost certainly Lambeth Library MS 487.
		The fragment begins with Hnaef's observation that what he sees outside "is not the dawn in the East, nor is it the flight of a dragon, nor are the gables burning"; what he sees is the torches of approaching attackers.
		The fragment contains no Christian references, and the burning of Hnaef is clearly pagan; it is short and about a battle, but the two fragments of the battle-poem Waldere manage to be explicitly Christian in hardly more space.

	English Poetry
		While the poetry that has survived is limited in volume, it is wide in breadth.
		''Beowulf'' is the only heroic epic to have survived in its entirety, but fragments of others such as Waldere and the Finnsburg Fragment show that it was not unique in its time.
		Other genres include much religious verse, from devotional works to biblical paraphrase; elegies such as '' The Wanderer '', '' The Seafarer '', and '' The Ruin '' (often taken to be a description of the ruins of Bath); and numerous proverbs, riddles, and charm s.

	Jutes - Thagodz Wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Some authorities believe the Jutes are identical with the Geats (the "Jutish hypothesis"), a people who once lived in southern Sweden, such as the Oxford English Dictionary, which speculatively identifies the Swedish Geats (through Eotas, Iótas, Iútan and Geátas) with the Danish Jutes.
		However, in both Widsith and Beowulf, the Eotenas in the Finn passage (see Finnsburg Fragment) are neatly distinguished from the Geatas.
		It may be that the two tribal names happened to be confused, which has happened, for example, in the sources about the death of the Swedish king Östen.

		As far as Sweden is concerned this dating has been confirmed by archaeological excavations of the barrows indicated by Snorri Sturluson and by Swedish tradition as the graves of Eadgils and Ohthere in Uppland.
		Like the Finnsburg Fragment and several shorter surviving poems, Beowulf has consequently been used as a source of information about Scandinavian personalities such as Eadgils and Hygelac, and about continental Germanic personalities such as Offa, king of the continental Angles.
		The traditions behind the poem would have arrived in England at a time when the Anglo-Saxons were still in close dynastic and personal contacts with their Germanic kinsmen in Scandinavia and northern Germany.

		(The early part of this feud is told in the Finnsburg Fragment, given after the poem of Beowulf.) In this story, we learn of the deaths of Hnaef and his sister's son, then in the renewed battle, the death of Finn, Hildeburh's husband.
		The banquet ends with most generous gift-giving by Hrothgar to Beowulf, Then Hrothgar and Wealhtheow, his queen, go to their room apart, and Beowulf, too, is favored by a room elsewhere, while the Danes at last dare to sleep in the hall.
		Then Beowulf foretells the fate of Hrothgar's daughter, not perhaps Wealhtheow's daughter, for her sons were younger and she pleaded with Hrothulf to treat them fairly.

		Whilst it could be said that Beowulf is the only substantial extant Old English poem that addresses matters heroic rather than Christian, there are nonetheless Christian viewpoints expressed within the poem, and the overall judgement on both Christian and heroic society is ambiguous.
		The poet has a choice of epithets or formulae to use in order to fulfill the alliteration.
		Klaeber's Beowulf and the Fight at Finnsburg has been the standard Old English text/glossary used by scholars since 1908.
