In Beowulf, who was the father of Hrothgar?

  1. Ecgtheow

  2. Unferth

  3. Wealhtheow

  4. Wiglaf

The correct answer is: Ecgtheow

In the epic poem Beowulf, Ecgtheow was the father of the Danish king Hrothgar. This is the case because Ecgtheow was a Geatish chieftain, who was exiled to the land of the Danes and married Hrothgar's mother. Unferth was a Danish warrior and later an ally of Beowulf, but he was not related to Hrothgar by blood. Wealhtheow was the queen of Hrothgar, not his father. Wiglaf was a young warrior and kinsman of Beowulf, but he was not related to Hrothgar either. Therefore, the best answer is A, Ecgtheow.
