I am kind of continuing off of my comment, but i found this to be the only real ending to Beowulf. He was described as being the most fair and kind king to have ever lived, but that is because he was not a true king. Beowulf had a warrior's heart and in this time a warrior is meant to be the kindest and most fair to his brethren when off of the fields of battle. These traits naturally carried into his rulings. Beowulf, had to die in battle, though, because of his inherent fighting nature. If not the dragon, some greater foe would have had to end Beowulf's reign. This is because of his refusal to sit idly by and die like a "normal" man.
I commented on Brydon's
