	Finnsburg Fragment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Finnsburg Fragment is a fragment of an Old English poem.
		In both accounts, a fight breaks between Danes and Frisians during a visit by Hnæf and his sixty warriors to Finn's hall.
		The idea of a bloody battle between a host and his guests probably served as a powerful plot device to the contemporary Germanic audience, and the fact that Hnæf's sister Hildeburh was Finn's wife provides even more dramatic tension.

	Hengest - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The facts of his life are unknown, but according to Bede (writing nearly 200 years after the events in question), he and his brother Horsa were mercenaries for the British ruler Vortigern, hired to fight against the Picts.
		Hengest is a character in the Fight at Finnsburg narrative mentioned in the Finnsburg Fragment and the Beowulf poem.
		In these texts, Hengest is a Danish warrior who takes control of the Danish forces after the prince Hnæf is killed, and succeeds in killing the Frisian lord Finn in revenge for his lord's death.

		For example, the digressions concerning the feud between the Danes and the Heathobards, the fight at Finnsburg, Hygelac's fatal expedition, the story of Sigmund and the dragon, all would have prepared listeners for the tragic outcome of Beowulf.
		Skill and courage were the primary characteristics of the leader in battle; and a true leader was one who could also sustain his people in peacetime.
		Rather than fight, they encouraged payment of "Danegeld"--ransom--by which the attackers were bought off.

	Viking Answer Lady Webpage - In Service To The Crown: Warriors' Oaths To The King
		The lord of a comitatus was expected not only to fight, but to fight with a great deal of martial prowess.
		Aside from the bonds that form between comrades-in-arms, there were specific bonds in the form of oaths and reciprocal rights and responsibilities from ruler to warrior and from warrior to his lord, much like the formal Oath of Fealty used between the king and a knight during the medieval period.
		The warrior entering a lord's service made an oath to fight for his lord, to support the lord in battle and protect him, and to avenge the lord if needed, dying if necessary while trying to exact vengeance.

		Pursuit of this objective will demand of students a serious commitment to the work of translation, with prodigious effort expended to fulfill this personal commitment.
		The only required text for the course is Friedrich Klaeber's Beowulf and the Fight at Finnsburg, 3rd.
		Students will be required to write an extensive research paper on a topic agreed upon between student and instructor early in the semester with subsequent guidance through consultation with the instructor.

	Publications: Klaeber
		Almost since the appearance of the first edition in 1922, Friedrich/ Frederick Klaeber's Beowulf and the Fight at Finnsburg has been the standard edition of the most important work of English literature from the period before the Norman Conquest.
		It has served the dual purpose of introducing students to Beowulf and of filling the role of the standard work of scholarly reference: nearly all published studies of the poem rely upon this edition.
		Are there sections of Klaeber's edition that could be dispensed with-the entire edition of "The Fight at Finnsburg," for example, given that that poem has now been ably edited by others?

		Known from only one eleventh-century manuscript, which was badly burned in a 1731 fire, causing many letters to crumble away, it was written down by an unknown poet around 700 A.D. FTP, name this tale of a king of the Geats who mounts his enemy's arm as a trophy in the Heorot feast hall.

		'Beowulf' along with poems 'Widsith', 'Deor', The Fight at Finnsburg' and 'Waldere', demonstrates the heroic aspects of the community, and some of the ideals that the members strive to live up to.
