  • Heorogar was a Danish king who appears in the Old English poem Beowulf as the eldest son of Healfdene (Halfdan), and the brother of Hroðgar (Hroar), and Halga (Helgi). The people in parentheses are personages found also in Norse sources. He is mentioned in lines 2155-2165 of the poem, when King Hrothgar gives Beowulf the armour and weapons that originally belonged to King Heorogar: "Me ðis hildesceorp Hroðgar sealde,snotra fengel, sume worde hetþæt ic his ærest ðe est gesægde;cwæð þæt hyt hæfde *Hiorogar cyning,leod Scyldunga lange hwile;no ðy ær suna sinum syllan wolde,hwatum Heorowearde, þeah he him hold wære,breostgewædu. Bruc ealles well!" Translation: "Hrothgar did not leave Beowulf unsatisfied. Beowulf offered all of the treasures given to him to Hygelac his leader. Hygelac ordered in his boar standard, a suit of armour, and a sword given to him by Hrothgar who had received it from his brother *Heorogar and once promised to Heoroweard and gave it all to Beowulf to use well." Unlike Halga, Hroðgar, Healfdene, and Heorogar's son Heoroweard, Heorogar does not appear in Norse sources. However, Heorogar may explain why Heoroweard (according to Norse sources) rebelled against Hroðulf (Hrólf Kraki) and killed him. As the son of Heorogar, the eldest of Healfdene's sons, Heoroweard had greater right to the Danish throne than Hroðulf. (en)
  • Heorogar (n. 526) fue un legendario rey vikingo de Selandia, Dinamarca de la dinastía Skjöldung, en la Era de Vendel (siglo VI).​​ Era hijo del rey Healfdene (Halvdan), y hermano de Hroðgar (Hróar) y Halga (Helgi). Su figura protohistórica aparece únicamente en el poema épico Beowulf,​ cuando el rey Hroðgar entrega a Beowulf la armadura y armas que pertenecieron a Heorogar: "Me ðis hildesceorp Hroðgar sealde,snotra fengel, sume worde hetþæt ic his ærest ðe est gesægde;cwæð þæt hyt hæfde *Hiorogar cyning,leod Scyldunga lange hwile;no ðy ær suna sinum syllan wolde,hwatum Heorowearde, þeah he him hold wære,breostgewædu. Bruc ealles well!" Traducción: Hroðgar no dejó a Beowulf insatisfecho. Beowulf ofreció todos los tesoros que recibió a su caudillo Hygelac. Hygelac ordenó en su nombre, la entrega de la armadura y espada que le dio Hroðgar, quien a su vez lo recibió de su hermano *Heorogar y que prometió a Heoroweard entregársela a Beowulf para que hiciese buen uso. A diferencia de Halga, Hroðgar, Healfdene, y el hijo de Heorogar Heoroweard, Heorogar no aparece en ninguna otra fuente nórdica. No obstante su figura explica por qué Heoroweard (según las fuentes nórdicas) se rebeló contra Hroðulf (Hrólfr Kraki) y le mató. Como hijo mayor de Heorogar, Heoroweard tenía más derecho sobre el trono que Hroðulf. (es)
  • Heorogar fu un leggendario re danese che appare solo nel poema epico in antico inglese Beowulf come il figlio maggiore di Healfdene (Halfdán) e il fratello di Hroðgar (Hroar) e Halga (Helgi). I nomi fra parentesi sono i nomi norreni degli stessi personaggi. Al contrario di Halga, Hroðgar, Healfdene e Heoroweard (il figlio di Heorogar), Heorogar non appare in alcuna fonte norrena. Tuttavia la sua esistenza può spiegare perché Heoroweard, secondo la tradizione scandinava, si ribellò a Hroðulf (Hrólfr Kraki, figlio di Halga) e lo uccise. Essendo figlio di Heorogar, il primogenito di Healfdene, Heoroweard aveva più diritto di Hroðulf di ascendere al trono di Danimarca. (it)
