modern Danish Can anyone PROVE that Beowulf's Heorot is in or near modern-day Denmark?
We believe the poem is set in South East England on the Isle of Harty - just off the North Kent coast, and now part of the Isle of Sheppey.
In those days it would have been settled by Danish warriors (King Hrothgar), and known as the land of the West Danes.
We have an academic paper on this, published by the Faversham Society, called "Beowulf in Kent'. See their website http://www.faversham.org/pages/directory_item.aspx?i_PageID=11935 Thanks for the link to the Beowulf summary, but it still says the action at Heorot is in Denmark, without proving it.
The Faversham Paper mentioned in my first question uses place-name evidence to show that Heorot is in Kent, England. Its present spelling is Harty (note the consonants h - r - t).
I am impressed that my question to Yahoo Answers! has gained such a high rating in google!

Claus Hjort Frederiksen has hired more people in the public sector than any other minister ever in Denmark. A lot of small privately held companies are now also on the public payroll thanks to Mr. Frederiksen. This over-spending in the public sector with no fiscal responsibility has been a disaster for the danish economy and the current government has been called the worst danish government ever.
AH: Your a tease. I bet that sweet little tiny tree smelled of liquorish and skid marks. I don't own a black tree so if you should pass it again on one of your boxer runs, bring surgical gloves..
Laurie: After reading Vanda's comment I think I may of made a mistake in giving away the promise of “good times”.
Vanda: Thanks for the information (I suppose Mary will appreciate it). I hope an extended use of the silver ticket comes with the pink slip. No tree for me, no ticket to ride….it's looking grim at the Palm.
Tea Party: If I'm invited to the wedding I'll have to remind my date Josephin Baker not to wear her rhinestone banana skirt. She's crazy about that skirt.
D: Disney just did a round of layoffs. Vanda can tell you all about it. So you know what a fluke is? I was trying to remember that term when I was writing the post. I ended up with “fish tracks”. A little surprised that Queen V didn't weigh in on my whale post. She must actually be working since the zoo has also been putting out pink slips.
Ann E: I think it's a nostalgic return to Tomorrow-Land (take note of the irony here). If I recall, E tickets/books went the way of the Frontier-Land mule ride, a bitter disappointment for me. The arches are back, so is modern danish furnishing and I think I heard that Jack's returned to the box. Heres a link to D tickets provided by Tash ….
CO: so the atty ain't so natty. “Sounds” as if he grooves to a different vibe man!
Tash: I found your story being temporarily held for questioning in my spam box. Looking back I'm reminded of how first generation kids often had the strictest parents. I don't remember my Disney trips either but I think it has something to do with a certain smokable herb I carried into the park……(I just discovered the ticket link, funny)
