The story is interesting in the way that a true, brave, loyal and strong man was committed into being a soldier and from the belief of God. Fighting for his people protecting them at all costs risking the life of himself and his friends to fight Grendel an escaped evil demon that was killing everyone he and his companions fought until they finished to kill Grendel.He accomplished his goal and kept his promise to the Danes of killing Grendel, ripping of its hand to show proof of the killing. then Grendels mother comes for revenge of her son but then again Beowulf did not back down and went fighting with no doubts in mind killing the mother with a sword only a true strong man could use again defeated the mother another demon winning the battle for the second time. many years passed and also many adventures went by and Beowulf became very old, but then along came a fire breathing dragon burning up the land into where he lived and started mayhem and so then Beowulf as a soldier he used to be, thought he could be the one to kill the dragon using pure strength he trusted he was very confident and cocky because of his past accomplishments with Grendel and his mother but Beowulf was just too old and he really thought he was as a strong as he use to be, and for that he got bitten by the dragon and bled while poison slowly killed him.Beowulf did illustrate well of the Anglo Saxons culture, in a way that they were very religious in believing God's might given to a warrior himself as said in the story; "Now a warrior, through God's might, has performed a deed we, in our wisdom, could not contrive".

The history of Anglo-Saxon England broadly covers early medieval England from the end of Roman rule and the establishment of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the 5th century until the Conquest by the Normans in 1066. Christianization of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms began around 600 and was essentially complete by the mid 8th century. Throughout the 7th and 8th centuries, power fluctuated between the larger kingdoms. Bede records as being dominant at the close of the 6th century, but power seems to have shifted northwards to the kingdom of North Umbria.
