Up to Beowulf . Epic Poetry
Thanks the epic poem we can have a piece of information about Hyghelac's kingdom's society :
it was ruled by a king and its structure is hierarchical, in fact the hero is a thane.
The people were warriors and sailors; in addition they were a pagan-people because they believed in omens.
