Hrothgar's men collected all weapons from Beowulf and his men and allowed them to enter Heorot with only their shields because it was forbidden for a foreigner to enter the King Hrothgar's presence armed.

King Beowulf, hero of the Geats, known for his bravery and valor in war came to the aid of the Danes who had been attacked by the monster Grendel for twelve winters without solution.

Hrothgar, although knowing Beowulf and his entourage did not allow them to enter his palace with their weapons, save their shield, because it was forbidden.
