"While based on the genealogical charts usually given at the back of Beowulf editions, I attempt here to provide a complete picture of all the named figures of the poem and their major actions; by keying the figures to line numbers, a chronology of events and relationships is also constructed. The charts include all named human characters, the three main monsters, and the important artefacts mentioned in the poem." (Bruce Gilchrist )
