Beowulf has a royal pedigree, coming from decendants of kings and warriors. Beowulf's spartan fighting techniques provided for him to slay Grendal and his mother in a disciplined, macabre fashion, leaving the scence with blood and limbs. He gained a severve amount of homage from the people of Herot after this feat. Along with the honor, he gained pittance of silver and gold.
Unfortunately when he was younger, Beowulf has a gadfly for a sister, named Sheowulf, who would follow him around and pester him all day. One day Beowulf spurned her from his family because she tried to overthrow his kingdom. She felt this was preposterous punishment for such an insignificant action. Sheowulf made a farce reinactment of the scenario, using a bombastic speech filled with meaningless statements to make a point. This crossed the line so Beowulf killed Sheowulf with one mighty blow of his sword.
