	ORB: The Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies
		Yet another reason might be that Hrothgar's building of Heorot may have been like the building of the Tower of babel in the Bible, a display of human pride and arrogance.
		Hrothgar sets matters straight by saying that the best of his men had died in attacking Grendel during the past twelve years, and that it was he who had taken in Beowulf's father when the Geats, including Hrethel, had thrown him out and refused to fight for him against the Wylfings.
		The third part of this poem of Hrothgar would have been the story of how his son- in-law rose up against him, attacked Heorot and destroyed in by fire, a fire in which Hrothgar died and the line of the descendants of Scyld Scefing came to an end.

	Gandalf and Hrothgar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		While Hrothgar is impotent to protect his domains against the incursion of Grendel, he nonetheless becomes a father-figure to the young and impetuous Beowulf.
		Hrothgar, is described as a strong man, but he requires the help of a young warrior to remove the menace of Grendel from Heorot.
		Hrothgar, too, is physically similar to Gandalf: long beard, strong commanding presence, strong voice, etc. Once Hrothgar, called "the wise one," has mentored young Beowulf, the son of Ecgtheow, rises to the challenge, and fulfills his task (Beowulf 46).

	Abstract: Rothauser: "Winter in Heorot: Looking at Anglo-Saxon Perceptions of Age and Kingship through the ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Although the heroic ideal for kingship may be that of the glorious warrior, the Anglo-Saxon perception of age mitigates the duties of the elderly king – a view that distances the king from the masculine realm of the hall, the center for bravado and bravery, flytings and fights.
		This distance removes Hrothgar from the realm of the masculine, yet it does not indicate his failure as a leader.
		Hrothgar is Othered by his age but far from being a failure in his duties because of his “not-masculine” status, fulfills his role as the aged king admirably.
