It is also true that Beowulf is the nephew of Hyglak.

Historically, Hygerk led a fleet to plunder the lands of the Florians on the lower Rhine, which at that time was part of the famous Frankish kingdom. When Hygerk's army was about to leave for their home country after looting, they were attacked by Frankish soldiers. Hygerk died in this battle.

Beowulf, on the other hand, killed a Frankish standard-bearer and swam back to Gault. This event took place in 521 A.D., and is mentioned four times in the epic poem "Beowulf", which coincides with the French historian Gregory's "History of the Franks" and the anonymous "Records of the Franks".
