		Some of these can be corroborated with legends appearing in other Germanic literatures e.g.

		But Lang didn't like Wagner and apart from a few touhces of magic at the very beginning his is an historical film and a tragedy.
		The last hour and a half is based on the 'Finnsburgh Fragment' which is related to 'Beowulf' if you're curious.
		The music is a wee bit Wagnerian here and there but is more modernistic in its tonality.

	Beowulf's "Finnsburgh Episode" and "the Finnsburgh Fragment" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		They attacked Finn and he died in this attack Hildeburth was taken with every treasure she possessed from Finneshâm and was taken to the land of the Danes.
		This part connects to the fragment we know as the “Finnesburgh Fragment” which is the tale of the fight in the Halls of Finnsburgh between Finn and his feared warriors and Hnaef with his sixty men.
		The fragment starts with fierce support for the brave in poetic verse which reminds us of the vivid style of the old Nordic skalds.

	[No title]
		There is character--not much, but enough to make it more than a _mere_ story of adventure--and adventure enough for anything; there is by no means ineffectual speech--even dialogue--of a kind: and there is some effective and picturesque description.
		The same faculties reappear in such mere fragments as that of _Waldhere_ and the "Finnsburgh" fight: but they are shown much more fully in the Saints' Lives--best of all in the _Andreas_, no doubt, but remarkably also (especially considering the slender amount of "happenings") in the _Guthlac_ and the _Juliana_.
		A crowd of fantastic imaginings or additions, to supply the main substance, and a certain common-sense grasp of actual conditions and circumstances to set them upon, and contrast them with--these are the great requirements of Fiction in life and character.

	Beowulf: Pagan burial rites in a "Christian" poem
		It would seem that the characters are at least somewhat concerned about the fate of ’sher's body after his death, but in all fairness this passage could only reflect their desire to give a beloved friend's remains a proper ceremony.
		Another argument for the pagan necessity of cremation is found in lines 1114-1117 when Hn‘f and his two nephews, who died in the fight at Finnsburgh were cremated:
		They do not entrust the spirit to God for safe passage in to the afterlife, rather they entrust the flames to ensure that the spirit does not hang around afterward.

		If Bede has no such horrors as this to chronicle—though similar tales attend everywhere the progress of the old Northern peoples—we can see even from the stories he himself tells such as that of the sons of Penda, how violent and fierce was the temper of the heathen world.
		The light of conflagration, which shines down the ages in such old poems as The Fight at Finnsburgh, is not absent from his pages.
		The England he shows us is a bleak country, in which rare cultivated oases break the expanse of forest and morass.

		As said above, if it were only for the translation, it might be that we could find other sources more readable.
		But as one who had read Tolkiens comentary and prose tarsnlation of the Finnsburgh fragment and Episode I hope mostly to see Prof.
		P.S.: About publishing the transaltion him self: I think if there had not been other people that pushed him, we would not even have seen Pearl or Sir Gwain in print during his lifetime.

		The three main sections of "Warrior", "Weapons" and "Warfare" present one of the best overviews of pre-Conquest military historiography I have come across.
		As an extra bonus, the appendices include Old English and modern versions of The Battle of Maldon", the "Finnsburgh" fragment, and the "Battle of Brunanburh".
		Anglo-Saxon Books -- who also published Terry Brown's English Martial Arts -- appears to have cornered the market in readable, high-quality historical Anglophilia.
