On the whole, swords were the weapons of choice, namely four very important swords. The first sword is the one given to Beowulf by Hrothgar. The second sword is Hrunting, the sword Unferth lends Beowulf to use in the fight against Grendel's mother. The third sword, used to kill Grendel's mother had beautful engravings, which depicted the Great Flood (Noah), and the fourth, Naegling, decorated with beautiful gems.
