Beowulf.
Explanation:

He came to the aid of King Hrothgar whose kingdom was terrorized by a monster named Grendel. Beowulf used his epic strength and bravery and slayed the monster, saving the kingdom from further oppression. The above lines are from the lines 56-60 of Chapter VII. It mentioned the time when Hrothgar describes how he had known about Beowulf and his father, Grethel who had been his friend. And now, Beowulf had also came to offer his services to his father's good friend for all the good that he had done for them.
