Hnæf, son of Hoc Half-Dane, is the lord of a Danish people who have conquered part of Jutland ( probably the northern part of the Cimbrian peninsula ) and exiled its former Jutish rulers.

Around the year AD 450, Hnæf sails to Frys-Land in the autumn ; his purpose is to return Finn's now-grown son and spend the winter in Finn's citadel, celebrating Yule.

Chief among these thanes is a Jute named Hengest, leader of a band of Jutes who have taken service under Hnæf.

( It is not clear which side Friðiwulf was fighting on, but Tolkien thinks it likely he was staying in the hall with Hnæf, his foster-father and uncle ; this would explain why Beowulf emphasizes that Friðiwulf was laid on the funeral pyre at Hnæf's side.

Hengest " does not refuse the world's counsel " ( that is, he goes along with what everyone agrees is right ) and decides that his loyalty to Hnæf must outweigh his obligation to Finn.

On the morning of the fifth day the Frisians force their way into the hall, and in the battle, both Hnæf and Friðiwulf are killed.

The Jutes are Hengest's own band, and owed loyalty to Hnæf only because Hengest followed him.

The bodies of Hnæf and Friðiwulf are honorably burned.

He was married to Hildeburh, a sister of the Danish lord Hnæf, and was killed in a fight with Hnæf's lieutenant Hengest after Hnæf was himself killed by Frisians.
