Which Old English poem consisting of 3,182 alliterative lines, has a new king named Heardred?
Heardred Heardred (Proto-Norse *"Harðurāðaz" ), died c. 530, is the son of Hygelac, king of the Geats, and his queen Hygd, in "Beowulf". After Hygelac's death, in Frisia, Hygd wants to make Hygelac's nephew Beowulf, king of Geatland, as she fears that the young Heardred won't be able to defend his people. Beowulf, however, declares his trust in the young man and Heardred is proclaimed king.
Awdl In early Welsh literature, an awdl was any long poem on a single end-rhyme (the word is the same as "odl", 'rhyme'). Such early "awdlau" are associated with the Cynfeirdd such as Aneirin and Taliesin, and the poetry is found in manuscripts such as the "Book of Taliesin", the "Black Book of Carmarthen", the "Hendregadredd Manuscript" or "The Red Book of Hergest".
