grandson, Healfdene, 57; his great-grandson, Hrōðgār, who had two brothers
and a sister, 59 ff. --Scyld dies, 26; his body, upon a decorated ship, is
given over to the sea (32 ff. ), just as he, when a child, drifted alone,

bear his name.

Scyldingas (Scyldungas, 2053; gen. Scyldinga, 53, etc. , Scyldunga, 2102,
2160; dat. Scyldingum, 274, etc. ), a name which is extended also to the

Scylfingas, a Swedish royal family, whose relationship seems to extend to
the Gēatas, since Wīglāf, the son of Wīhstān, who in another place, as a
kinsman of Bēowulf, is called a Wǣgmunding (2815), is also called lēod
Scylfinga, 2604.
The family connections are perhaps as follows:--
