The Death Of Beowulf

Beowulf is buried in Geatland on a cliff overlooking the sea, where sailors are able to see his tumulus. The dragon's treasure is buried with him, in accordance with Beowulf's wishes, rather than distributed to his people, and there is a curse associated with the hoard to ensure that Beowulf's wish is kept. As the boat burns Grendel's mother appears from the ocean. As the ship sinks she takes Beowul's body with her to the waterie depths of the ocean.
