The plight that Hrothgar was facing was that of;
- Having his men eliminated by Grendel. At this point, he had lost a lot of men who dared to challenge Grendel. This can be deduced from his words to Beowulf in these lines;
<em>What grief in Heorot Grendel hath caused me, </em>
<em />
What horror unlooked-for, by hatred unceasing.
Waned is my war-band, wasted my hall-troop;
<em>Weird hath offcast them to the clutches of Grendel.</em>
(Note that the English Language used here is not the contemporary version)
In these lines, Hrothgar laments the horror Grendel had caused in his rulership. He had caused him a lot of grief due to his constant attacks.

This was the expression of the king who was now tired of the acts of Grendel in his kingdom.
