The Wægmundings were a prominent probably Swedish clan (an ätt, see Norse clans) in Beowulf. A name such as Wægmunding meant "belongs to Wægmund", i.e. they were the descendants of a man named Wægmund. This was the normal way of naming a Germanic clan (e.g. Sigurd the Völsung, descendant of king Völsung, Folkung [descendants of Folke] and Yngling [descendants of Yngvi-Freyr]). Members:

  • Wægmunding fue un notable clan familiar de los suiones (suecos) que aparecen en el legendario poema Beowulf, cuyo significado sería "pertenece a Wægmund" o los descendientes de un hombre llamado Wægmund. Era una forma habitual de nominar a un clan germánico y existen varios ejemplos en la literatura medieval de Escandinavia, por ejemplo Sigurd el volsungo, folkung (descendientes de Folke) o la casa real de los Ynglings (descendientes de Yngvi- Freyr).

  • Les Wægmundings sont un clan scandinave mentionné dans le poème vieil-anglais Beowulf. Wiglaf, le dernier compagnon du héros Beowulf, appartient à ce clan. Dans ses dernières paroles, Beowulf s'adresse à lui en l'appelant « dernier survivant de notre race, les Wægmundings », ce qui laisse entendre un lien de parenté entre Beowulf et ce clan. (fr)

  • I Wægmunding erano probabilmente un clan (o ätt) importante dei Sueoni; vengono nominati nel Beowulf. Il nome Wægmunding significa "appartenente a Wægmund", cioè discendente di un uomo chiamato ; questo è un modo comune di chiamare un clan germanico: si vedano per esempio i (discendenti da ), i Folkung (discendenti da Folke) e gli Ynglingar (discendenti da Yngvi-Freyr). Membri importanti del clan sono: * (il capostipite); * Ælfhere (un membro del clan in quanto Wiglaf è detto essere suo parente); * Ecgþeow (unitosi ai Danesi e ai Geati poiché bandito dalla sua terra per aver ucciso un uomo di un altro clan); * Beowulf (figlio di Ecgþeow ed eroe del poema omonimo); * Weohstan (campione svedese ed uccisore del principe fuggitivo suo compatriota, Eanmund); * Wiglaf (l'ultimo dei Wægmunding e figlio di Weohstan, combatté a fianco di Beowulf contro il drago). La storia di questo clan nel Beowulf comincia con l'uccisione da parte di Ecgþeow di un uomo, , di un altro clan, i Wulfing (probabilmente i re dei meno noti Geati Orientali). Poiché i Wægmunding non vollero o non poterono pagare il guidrigildo, Ecgþeow fu bandito e cercò rifugio presso i Daner. Il re danese Hroðgar pagò il guidrigildo e fece fare un giuramento di amicizia ad Ecgþeow; più tardi, Ecgþeow servì i Geati e si distinse a tal punto da sposare la figlia di Hreðel, re dei Geati, da cui ebbe un figlio, Beowulf. Durante le guerre tra Sueoni e Geati, un parente stretto di Ecgþeow, Weohstan, combatté per Onela re dei Sueoni ed uccise il nipote del suo re, Eanmund. Il fatto che questi personaggi siano Wægmunding spiega perché il guerriero svedese Wiglaf divenne il braccio destro di Beowulf anche se suo padre aveva combattuto contro i Geati: poiché Ecgþeow, padre di Beowulf, era un parente stretto di Weohstan, padre di Wiglaf, non sorprende il fatto che Wiglaf (dopo la morte del padre) si unì al suo parente Beowulf in Götaland e che Beowulf si prese cura del giovane svedese.

  • The Wægmundings were a prominent probably Swedish clan (an ätt, see Norse clans) in Beowulf. A name such as Wægmunding meant "belongs to Wægmund", i.e. they were the descendants of a man named Wægmund. This was the normal way of naming a Germanic clan (e.g. Sigurd the Völsung, descendant of king Völsung, Folkung [descendants of Folke] and Yngling [descendants of Yngvi-Freyr]). Members: * Wægmund (the ancestor of the clan) * Ælfhere (seems to have been a distinguished member of the clan as Wiglaf is described as his kinsman) * Ecgþeow (joined the Danes and the Geats as he was banished for slaying a man from another clan) * Beowulf (son of Ecgþeow and the hero of the epic by his name) * Weohstan (Swedish champion and slayer of his fugitive countryman prince Eanmund) * Wiglaf (the last of the Wægmundings and son of Weohstan. He fought with Beowulf against the dragon) The story of this clan in Beowulf is that Ecgþeow slew a man, Heaðolaf, from another clan, the Wulfings (probably the rulers of the less known East Geats). As the Wægmundings would not or could not pay the expected wergild, Ecgtheow was banished and sought refuge among the Danes. The Danish king Hrothgar paid the wergild and had Ecgþeow swear an oath. Later, Ecgþeow served the Geats and distinguished himself enough to marry the Geatish king Hreðel's daughter, with whom he had the son Beowulf. During the Swedish-Geatish wars, Ecgþeow's close relative, Weohstan, fought on the Swedish side for Onela, and killed Onela's nephew Eanmund. The fact that these characters are described as Wægmundings explains why the Swedish warrior Wiglaf became the companion of Beowulf although his father had fought against the Geats. Since Ecgþeow, Beowulf's father, was a close relative of Weohstan, Wiglaf's father, it is not surprising that Wiglaf (after his father's death) joined his relative Beowulf in Geatland, and that Beowulf assumed responsibility for the young Swede.
