Heorogar
Heorogar was a Danish king who appears in the Old English poem Beowulf as the eldest son of Healfdene, and the brother of Hroðgar, and Halga. The people in parentheses are personages found also in Norse sources.
He is mentioned in lines 2155-2165 of the poem, when King Hrothgar gives Beowulf the armour and weapons that originally belonged to King Heorogar:
Translation:
Unlike Halga, Hroðgar, Healfdene, and Heorogar's son Heoroweard, Heorogar does not appear in Norse sources. However, Heorogar may explain why Heoroweard rebelled against Hroðulf and killed him. As the son of Heorogar, the eldest of Healfdene's sons, Heoroweard had greater right to the Danish throne than Hroðulf.
