It has potential, he was a freedom fighter, wasn't he? I added some sections based on what I remember from the movie...ahem...oh, and a picture.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 03:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings

of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,

we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!

Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,

from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore,

awing the earls. Since erst he lay

friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him:

for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve,

till before him the folk, both far and near,

who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,

gave him gifts: a good king he!

To him an heir was afterward born,

a son in his halls, whom heaven sent

to favor the folk, feeling their woe

that erst they had lacked an earl for leader

so long a while; the Lord endowed him,

the Wielder of Wonder, with world’s renown.

Famed was this Beowulf: {0a} far flew the boast of him,

son of Scyld, in the Scandian lands.

So becomes it a youth to quit him well

with his father’s friends, by fee and gift,

that to aid him, aged, in after days,

come warriors willing, should war draw nigh,

liegemen loyal: by lauded deeds

shall an earl have honor in every clan.

Use that for style ideas, language ideas, etc.

from: The Canterbury Tales

A KNIGHT there was, and that a worthy man,

That from the time that he first began

To riden out, he loved chivalry,

Truth and honour, freedom and courtesy.

Full worthy was he in his Lorde's war,

And thereto had he ridden, no man farre* (farther),

As well in Christendom as in Heatheness,

And ever honour'd for his worthiness

At Alisandre <6> he was when it was won.

Full often time he had the board begun

Above alle nations in Prusse.<7>

In Lettowe had he reysed,* (journeyed) and in Russe,

No Christian man so oft of his degree.

In Grenade at the siege eke had he be

Of Algesir, and ridden in Belmarie.

At Leyes was he, and at Satalie,

When they were won; and in the Greate Sea

At many a noble army had he be.

At mortal battles had he been fifteen,

And foughten for our faith at Tramissene.

In listes thries, and aye slain his foe.

This ilke*(same) worthy knight had been also

Some time with the lord of Palatie,

Against another heathen in Turkie:

And evermore *he had a sovereign price*. (He was held in very high esteem)

And though that he was worthy he was wise,

And of his port as meek as is a maid.

He never yet no villainy ne said

In all his life, unto no manner wight.

He was a very perfect gentle knight.

But for to telle you of his array,

His horse was good, but yet he was not gay.

Of fustian he weared a gipon* (short doublet),

Alle *besmotter'd with his habergeon,* (soiled by his coat of mail)

For he was late y-come from his voyage,

And wente for to do his pilgrimage.
