With Beowulf's success, he brings back the arm of Grendel as a trophy and with this Hrothgar , the king of the danes, is very relieved to know that his people will no longer be harmed by Grendel and astonished that Beowulf was able to defeat such a creature just by wrestling him. Hrothgar rewards Beowulf with two arm ornaments, war-chains , rings and the greatest necklace known to earth because of Beowulf's incredible actions. Beowulf has fought three creatures and in all three has defeated his opponents, These fights with the three creatures allows Beowulf to represent another strong Anglo-Saxon value, The value of glory.

Beowulf taught the value to the audience that doing caring and generous deeds and putting others before you can impact someone else's life which can influnce to do those same things as well causing a chain reaction for the better in a life. Although Beowulf was the main character in this story, Hrothgar also represents Anglo-Saxon values.
Hrothgar, who is the king of the danes, doesn't happen to represent as many values as Beowulf but he is a valued king which does mean he holds consecrated customs, some are glory and some also happen to be negative such as boasting which also happen to be Anglo-Saxon values.
