Wealhþeow has borne Hrothgar two sons, Hreðric and Hroðmund, and Hroðulf is to be regent if Hrothgar dies before his sons are grown.

( Since Hrothgar is an old man at this time — he tells Beowulf he has been king for " fifty winters "— and Wealhþeow's two sons are not yet grown, it seems likely that Wealhþeow is much younger than Hrothgar, and may not be his first wife.

When Beowulf reports on his adventure to his lord Hygelac, he mentions that Hrothgar also had a daughter, Freawaru ; it is not clear whether Freawaru was also the daughter of Wealhþeow or was born of an earlier marriage.

Hrothgar was married to a woman named Wealhþeow, who was a Helming, probably defining her as a relative of Helm, the ruler of the Wulfings.

The story it tells is set not in England but in Scandinavia, and revolves around a Geatish warrior named Beowulf who travels to Denmark to defeat a monster known as Grendel who is terrorising the kingdom of Hrothgar, and later, Grendel's Mother as well.

When Hrothgar is first introduced in Beowulf, it is explained that he was the second of four children of King Healfdene: he had an older brother, Heorogar, who was king before him ; a younger brother Halga ; and a sister, who was married to the king of Sweden.

The poet says that Hrothgar is so generous that " no man could fault him, who wished to speak the truth.

Beowulf ( Ray Winstone ) is a brave legendary Geatish warrior who travels to Denmark alongside his band of soldiers, which include his best friend, Wiglaf ( Brendan Gleeson ), in answer to the call of King Hrothgar ( Anthony Hopkins ), who needs a hero to slay a monster called Grendel ( Crispin Glover ), a hideously disfigured troll-like creature with superhuman strength, who attacks Hrothgar's mead hall, Heorot, whenever the Danes hold a celebration there, and he was forced to close the hall.

Hrothgar tells both Beowulf and Wiglaf who had been sleeping outside the hall at the time, that this is the work of Grendel's Mother who is the last of the Water Demons and was thought by Hrothgar, to have left the land.

After unexpectedly naming Beowulf his successor as king, much to the dismay of his royal advisor, Unferth ( John Malkovich ), who was hoping to take the throne, Hrothgar commits suicide.

In the epic poem Beowulf, Hrothgar is mentioned as the builder of the great hall Heorot, and ruler of Denmark when the Geatish hero Beowulf arrives to defeat the monster Grendel.

Hrothgar is plunged into gloom and near-despair after Grendel's mother attacks the hall and kills Hrothgar's best friend and closest advisor ; but when Beowulf advises him not to despair, and that " it is better to avenge our friends than to mourn overmuch ", Hrothgar leaps to his feet and thanks God for Beowulf's wise words, and leads the Danes and Geats out to attack the small lake ( mere ) where Grendel's mother lives.

Beowulf takes his leave of Hrothgar to return home, and Hrothgar embraces him and weeps that they will not meet again ( because Hroðgar is a very old man ).
