Prologue: The Rise of the Danish Nations (lines 1-85, pp. 33-34)
#1: "This prologue introduces the Danes" It was unusual for the way that Shield came to be ruler of the Danes because he was not born into royal blood. He was an abandoned baby who was adopted. Shields funeral was extremely flamboyant, he was buried around gold, weapons, and treasure. Shield is Hrothgar's great grandfather.
