What are the names of the 13 warriors in Beowulf?
Do the 13 warriors have specific names, or are they just warrior 1, warrior 2 etc.? Google has failed me completely, and any help would be greatly appreciated. We're trying to assign names to 13 new computers and the warriors from Beowulf would be perfect :D

According to the book "Myths and Legends from the Middle Ages" by Dr. van den Bergh van Eysinga, published by W.J. Thieme & Cie, Zuthphen, the Netherlands, these 13 warriors had no names. One of them was devoured by the monster Grendel, which was later killed by Beowulf. But there are other names in the story that you might want to use: (1) Hrothgar (the ancient version of Roger), a king; (2) Hygelac, also a king; (3) Breka, a courageous knight who serves Hygelac; (4)Ashker, king Hrotgar's bosom friend; (5)Hardred, king Hygelac's son; (6)Wiglaf, Beowulf's faithful servant. Other names from other legends that you might want to use are: Siegfried, Dietrich von Bern, Tristan, Gunther, Hildebrand, Uther (Pendragon, father of King Arthur), Merlin...Good luck!
