• Since at least one, and possibly two, of the persons and of the events mentioned in Beowulf can be corroborated and dated with the help of contemporary chronicles we must, until the opposite can be proved, accept the rest of the accounts as historical.
  Since several persons who figure in Beowulf are also mentioned in other, independent sagas, Ynglingatal, the Ynglinga Saga and Widsid, we must assume them to be historical and, if so, also the rest of the sagas.
