Niles, John D
Historians and Old English scholars have long speculated about the historical basis of the epic Beowulf, and it has often been assumed that the great hall, Heorot, was at Lejre on the Island of Zealand; many other literary sources confirm that this was the seat of the Skjoldung Kings mentioned in Beowulf.
