Beowullf

The LEGO Beowulf video you are going to watch is a fast and fun summary of the epic poem... and yes, all the stuff is made up of colourful LEGO bricks.

Part one 

6th century - The young hero Beowulf comes from Scandinavia to help the Dane king Hrothgar against the attacks of the monster Grendel. Beowulf kills him. 

"Then from the moorland, by misty crags, with God’s wrath laden, Grendel came" 

"Then laughed his heart; for the monster was minded... to sever the soul of each, life from body, since lusty banquet waited his will!"

"... no keenest blade, no farest of falchions fashioned on earth, could harm or hurt that hideous fiend!" 

"To Beowulf now the glory was given..."  

Part two

"Grendel's mother... the death of her son to avenge" 

comes to the hall. Beowulf kills her.

Part three
Fifty years later, Beowulf is king, "old and gray".
He defeats a dragon, but

"The wound began,

which that dragon-of-earth had erst inflicted,

to swell and smart; and soon he found

in his breast was boiling, baleful and deep,

pain of poison"
