	§3. "Beowulf:" Scandinavian Traditions; Personality of the Hero; Origin and Antiquity of the Poem; the Religious ...
		Healfdene and his sons Hrothgar and Halga are certainly identical with the Danish king Hafdan and his sons Hròarr (Roe) and Helgi; and there can be no doubt that Hrothwulf, Hrothgar’s nephew and colleague, is the famous Hròlfr Kraki, the son of Helgi.
		Hrothgar’s elder brother Heorogar is unknown, but his son Heoroweard may be identical with Hiörvar[char]r, the brother-in-law of Hròlfr.
		It has been plausibly suggested also that Hrethric, the son of Hrothgar, may be the same person as Hroereker (Roricus), who is generally represented as the son or successor of Ingialdr.
