Final+Battle

Beowulf's final battle proves to be more of a challenge for him because Grendel's mother is seeking revenge.


 * "So the Shieldings' hero, hard-pressed and enraged, took a firm hold of the hilt and swung the blade in an arc, a resolute blow that bit deep into her neck-bone and severed it entirely, toppling the doomed house of her flesh; she fell to the floor. The sword dripped blood, the swordsman was elated," (1563-1569).**
