eofor

Eofor, son of Wonred, was a Geatish warrior in Beowulf. When the Swedes invaded Geatland (Gtaland), the Geatish king Haethcyn was killed by the Swedish king Ongentheow. Hygelac, who became the new king, sent Eofor and his brother Wulf to fight against the hoary-bearded Swedish king. During the fight Wulf was severely wounded, but Eofor slew Ongentheow and carried Ongentheow's arms to Hygelac. Eofor and Wulf were not only richly recompensed, but Eofor was given the greatest possible gift for his service, the daughter of Hygelac.
