  • Summary of events after Grendel's mother:

Beowulf carries the head of Grendel to King Hrothgar and then returns gift-laden to the land of the Geats, where he succeeds to the throne. After fifty winters pass, Beowulf, now an old man, faces his final task: He must fight a dragon who, angry because a thief, who wasn't greedy but a poor slave on the run from his cruel master, had stolen a jeweled cup from its hoard of gold, is laying waste to the Geats' land. Beowulf and eleven warriors are guided to the dragon's lair by the thief who stole the cup. For Beowulf, the price of this last victory will be great.
