Question

Which character is described in these lines? "The man-ruler famous, The long-worthy atheling, sat very woful, Suffered great sorrow, sighed for his liegemen, When they had seen the track of the hateful pursuer, The spirit accursed: too crushing that sorrow, Too loathsome and lasting." Beowulf Grendel Hrothgar Higelac

Answer 1

The correct answer should be Hrothgar. He is the Danish king who needs Beowulf's help because his liegemen are getting killed and he can't stop it.
