According to John Grigsby, this character's name refers to ergotized barley he consumed before battle. He once spent five straight days in icy water swam a whole day to reach the bottom of a lake that contains the abductor of Aeschere. Thanks to armor from Wayland, he receives eight horses for his two victories, the second of which was not thanks to a sword given to him by Unferth. The theft of a gem-covered goblet causes the ire of a dragon, who kills this Geat in battle, but not before he saves Hrothgar's mead hall. For ten points, name this Anglo-Saxon epic hero who slays Grendel and his mom.
