| has gloss | ita: Ecgþeow o Edgetho (proto-norreno *Agiþewaz) è un personaggio del poema epico anglosassone Beowulf. Non è menzionato da nessuna parte al di fuori del manoscritto del Beowulf, e non si sa se sia basato su una persona esistita realmente. Appartiene probabilmente ad una famiglia dei Sueoni (un ätt, vedi Clan norreni) chiamata Waegmunding. Sposò la figlia di Hreðel, re dei Geati, ed era il padre di Beowulf. |
