Anglo Saxon · mortal · heroic age · Recorded classification
THE SWORD IN THE DRAGON FIGHT IS HIS. The corpus held Weohstan, who killed him, and Wiglaf, who inherits the sword and carries it to the barrow — and did not hold the man it was taken from. The registry held the weapon's second owner and not its first.
