| has gloss | eng: The Wulfings, Wylfings or Ylfings (the name means the "wolf clan") was a powerful clan in Beowulf, Widsith and in the Norse sagas. While the poet of Beowulf never bothers to locate the Wulfings geographically (it was probably common knowledge), Scandinavian sources define the Ylfings (the Old Norse form of the name) as the ruling clan of the Eastern Geats. |

| has gloss | ita: I Wulfingas, Wylfingas o Ylfingar (plurale di Wulfing/Wylfing/Ylfing, nome che significa "clan del lupo") erano un potente clan nominato nel Beowulf, nel Widsith e nelle saghe norrene. Mentre lautore del Beowulf non si preoccupa mai di collegare i Wulfing ad un luogo (era probabilmente noto e risaputo allepoca), le fonti scandinave dicono gli Ylfingar (dei tre nomi la forma in norreno) clan dominante dei Geati Orientali. |
