The Finnesburh Fragment:
The story of the fight in Finnesburh in which Hnaef and his followers were attacked in a hall by their foes has been told in allusive fashion in Beowulf. There are certain similarities that can be connected between this fragment and the story of Beowulf. In both stories there is a scene or scenes of battle and war. Like Beowulf, Hnaef and his people were attacked in there mead hall unexpectedly when they were sleeping. A feud was in place between the Frisians and Danish. It's possible the princess Hildeburh was given to Finn as a peace prise. Hrothgar's wife was also a peace pledge to Hrothgar, which i compare the fragment, this also emphasises the role of women. Both stories also involve attack while housing guests. Hnaef is visiting Finn and Beowulf is a victory to Hrothgar's kingdom. There are also symbols seen through the raven, which is seen in both stories as a sign of doom or misfortune.
Widsith:
This is a story of a poet and entertainer who travels to impossilbe places all around the world. He meets endless people of great importance and people who are also spoken of or seen in Beowulf. Breoca the Brondingas, Finn, son of Folcwalda, Sigehere, ruler of the Sea-Danes, the Franks and the Fisians. He even had encounters with Hrothwulf and Hrothgar and said things about there victory over the Heathobard tribe and when they took control over Heorot. Widsith him self had commanalities to Beowulf. There both very famous men, both known for different things but known well across the land. Widsith and Beowulf are both very aware of how good there at what they do, Beowulf as a warrior and Widsith as a poet. Widsith mensions he learned in his travels that the best of kings are the ones who allways respect there people and warriors, and all ways reward them with gold and riches. He sais these kings are the leaders who are most popular and respected. Beowulf, even though he views him self more a warrior, was allways generous to his fellow warriors and servants. Beowulf was known for this all around the land, as well and being known his great abilities in battle.
Grettir The Strong:
There is no limit to the similarities between Beowulf and Grettir The Strong. They have very similar plot lines, the one large difference to the comparison of Grettir and Beowulf is that Grettir is an out-law and Beowulf is a great king. Grettir heres of the monster who is bothering the people every year on Christmas. Grettir has a special skill in putting an end to hauntings and ghosts. Beowulf as well heres of Grendle, and knowing his great strenth travels to Heorot to help. Both men are going to help the people. Both men have amazing strength and fighting abilities, and they both know it. Beowulf waited for Grendle in Heorot pretending to be asleep, Grettir waits in the womends house for the troll women. Grettir chops the monsters arm off and wounds her greatly and she falls into the river, not knowing for sure if he had slayed her. Just like when Beowulf tore Grendles arm off, he ran way to his layer, Beowulf and the people unsure if he was dead. When Grettir when to the troll women's cave under the water fall, he was greeted by the trolls lover, who he kills. Beowulf is greeted by Grendles mother, whom he fights as well. So almost every aspect of Grettir The Strong corresponds to Beowulf, except slight differences such as the social profile of Beowulf and Grettir.
