Answer: In modern systems, a successful State is a territorial unit. As a territorial unit, its sovereignty extends over all the individuals and other things within its given territory. "A State is sovereign or the supreme power, within its territory and that state sovereignty extends to all the individuals in a given territory." by Dunleavy and O'leary.
Explanation: Some successful states were separately constituted with their own laws and institutions but dependent, such as Southern Netherlands and various states in Italy and around the Baltic. Gustavus had been a keen student of both the ancient discourses on military tactics, and how/why they were used. He incorporated many of these neo-classic “innovations” into his army. Gustavus’ army thus became more linear, more flexible and more maneuverable.
He basically gives him his resume, or all the heroic things he has done in the past, such as: he has never been defeated, he has saved many people, he talks about how he lost the swimming match to his friend Brecca because he stopped to help him against sea monsters which attacked him, etc.
These boasts are here for Beowulf to show to Lord Hrothgar that he is worthy of defending his kingdom against the monster Grendel.
