Explanation:
Beowulf is the main character in an old English poem of the same name. He is a brave character with many heroic deeds under his belt. When he was just a youth, he had already fought so many battles.
He then went to Denmark and saved the people there from a monster named Grendel. In his old age, Beowulf becomes king and his kingdom is attacked by a dragon which he kills. These are the things he brags about above.
