Title: Ship Burial, Heorot, and the Danish Origins of Beowulf

Abstract: The narratives of ship burials and Heorot in Beowulf are evidenced in the archaeological excavations of the Ship Burial at Sutton Hoo and the Great Halls at Lejre, both suggesting that Beowulf was most likely introduced to Britain during the Danish invasion. This is specifically exhibited in the historical and cultural traces of the ancient Danes in the epic.
