HROTHGAR THE 'DRAGON KING'

Before the monster Grendel haunted the epic of Beowulf, there was Hrothgar—the king whose hall was torn by both legend and reality. This story unveils the man behind the myth: a warrior-king navigating love, betrayal, and the clash of old gods and new faith. From the halls of Heorot to the battlefields of Denmark, Hrothgar’s journey is one of courage and sacrifice, where every victory carries the weight of destiny. His rule forged the first spark of a lineage that would echo for sixty generations, binding kings and queens to a bloodline of both triumph and tragedy.

Inspired by the life of Hrothgar, my 47th great-grandfather.
