Beowulf ´s place has been found in the province of Skåne, Sweden, in a place that used to belong to Denmark. In a landscape, region called Skadiney in the 500 c, by the anglosaxons called Scedenige by laws of mutation. In the same way the danes and the anglians were called dene and engle. The anglo-saxons(Alfred the Great, 900c)called Skáney or Skåne, as it is called nowadays, for Scóneg, also with a (soft?)g in the ending. The nordic ey probably was received by the anglo-saxons a soft g. Also Scedeland is has a parallel as Skåne, Halland and Bornholm used to be called Skåneland. Nowadays it normally means just Skåne or Scania as it is called in Latin. There are many connections to Beowulf. In the neigborhood to the nearby sacrificing-bog Gullakra there were tales about a hideous woman entity sometimes seen with a male compagnon. She was beheaded for the deeds she committed and was berried where three parishes meet. At Uppåkra in the clay-floor of the cult-house, close to the enormous mead-hall 400m2, was found a unic 500c cup and a 600c glass-bowl. Please look at: http://www.expage.com/uppakra/
