Answer:
Beowulf's boasting is shown as a good thing; he is showing everyone his qualifications for being a leader and is building up his fame in a world where fame is the only thing that lasts. He also shows himself worthy of heroic status by displaying generosity in giving much of his treasure to his followers.
John Julius Norwich makes a point of saying in the introduction to his history of the popes that he is “no scholar” and that he is “an agnostic Protestant.” The first point means that while he will be scrupulous with his copious research, he feels no obligation to unearth new revelations or concoct revisionist theories. The second means that he has “no ax to grind.” In short, his only agenda is to tell us the story. Norwich declares that he is an agnostic Protestant with no axe to grind: his aim is to tell the story of the popes, from the Roman period to the present, covering them neither with whitewash nor with ridicule. Even more disarmingly, he insists that he has no pretensions to scholarship and writes only for “the average intelligent reader”. But he adds: “I have tried to maintain a certain lightness of touch.” And that, it seems, is the opening through which a fair amount of outrageous anecdote and Gibbonian dry wit is allowed to enter the narrative.
Well, during this time period the Spanish, English and the French - among others - sought out to get three things; God, Gold and Glory ( known as the three G's). God was the spread of Christianity and other sub-religions of the anglican church. Gold, was the need and want for money. And glory stated the desire of power and dominance over the New World.
