Beowulf #7

Who are the Swedes and Frisians? Why are we given so much detailed information about the history of their quarrels with the Geats?

  1. The Swedes and Frisians are rival tribes that are always fighting with the Geats. By having a lot of detailed information about their quarrels, readers are more able to understand the history of the Geats. By understanding their history, readers can see the Geats as people who need help and Beowulf is the character that will help unify them.
