		His death was followed by war with the Swedes, in which first Haethcyn and then the Swedish king Ongentheow (Onela’s father) were slain.
		The latter is described as a Norwegian; but this is, in all probability, a mistake arising from his surname hinn Upplenzki, which was thought to refer to the Norwegian Upplönd instead of the Swedish district of the same name.
		The other members of the Swedish royal family, Ongentheow and Eanmund, are unknown in Scandinavian literature.

	The Heroic Age:Defining the Feud in Beowulf
		This is probably the reason for Ongentheow's choice of this moment to strike at the Geats--their king is recently dead of sorrow for a killing within his own family that has presumably done nothing to improve the group solidarity of the Geats, and so they are ripe for a raid.
		Ongentheow and his people evidently have a choice of how to relate to the Geats, but they "freode ne woldon / ofer heafo healdan" (lines 2476-77; wished no friendship over the wide sea).
		It is as if there are two conceptual ways that feuding groups can relate to one another in the world of this poem: friendship, characterized by the sort of friendly reciprocity seen earlier in the reception of Beowulf at the court of Hrothgar, and the feud, characterized by reciprocal violence.

		Granting that Beowulf is a guilty man, John Gardner tries to set up a circle of cause and effect with reference to the death of Ongentheow, whom he regards as an innocent victim of Hygelac.
		This passage, describing the death of Ongentheow, is narrated by Beowulf himself in the form of a recollection before he fights the Dragon at the end of the poem.
		Most important of all, it should not be forgotten that Beowulf knows of the death of Ongentheow through hearsay: this reason for his knowledge is clearly shown by 'in the morning, as I have been told.' This passage makes clear that Beowulf was not there when Ongentheow fell.
