Hrothgar allowed Beowulf to fight his battles for him because he was out of options, he had already tried to pay Grendel off and it did not work and he used some of his men who ended up dying. Also if Beowulf ended up dying it was not Hrothgar's problem because Beowulf is a Geat.

Hrothgar let's Beowulf fight his battles for him because not only can Hrothgar not beat the terrifying Grendel, but Beowulf wants to! He wants the fame and glory and nearly begs Hrothgar to let him fight Grendel.

He allowed Beowulf to fight his battles because it was his last ditch effort to save his kingdom. Hrothgar says to Beowulf and his men " Beowulf, you've come to us in friendship, and because of the reception your father found at our court." He's basically telling Beowulf that he owes him this.

Hrothgar allowed Beowulf to fight his battle for him because Beowulf explained that he was a great king, but had faults. Beowulf proceeded to tell him that he had done all these great things and can kill Grendel. (140-190)

First Hrothgar tried to bribe Grendel, "accepting no settlement, no price in gold or land." Then he tried to offer Grendel sacrifices "to the old stone gods" but that didn't work either so he had to call to Beowulf for help. Beowulf is a hero and he comes when people cry out for help, "heard how Grendel filled nights with horror."

Hrothgar allowed beowulf to fight for him because hrothgar secretly couldnt handle it on his own. But he played it off like beowulf was repaying a debt his father had lagt before. Lines 191-192

Hrothgar allowed him because there was nothing he could do or think of on his own an Beowulf proved he could beat grendel by proving so before the battle with grendel.pg 413-415

Hrothgar allowed beowulf to fight some of his battles because hrothgar couldn't even win them himself. He knew Beowulf was of royalty and his reputation made the king confident in his battles. However, Beowulf was smart at the way he asked the king to complete a battle. Beowulf made it seem like he was doing the kings a favor, almost like a quest, and coating the king with sugar, so he could get his way.

Hrothgar allowed beowolf to take on his battle with grendel because grendel lost most of his warriors by death or by fleeing herot, there was no noble warriors left to fight grendel. In lines 60-65 it says , herot stood empty, stayed deserted for years. Also in lines 53-60 each warrior tried to escape him the only survivors were the ones who fled him.

I believe that Hrothgar allowed Beowulf to fight his battle for him against Grendel because he didn't know what to do. He had tried everything else, and his throne was in danger. The word of him letting Grendel run all over him was spreading throughout other kingdoms. "His misery leaped the seas." [ lines 64 ] And that was how Beowulf was able to hear about it and make his break. Plus, Hrothgar felt like he owed Beowulf a favor, because he gave his dad shelter when no one else would. "I bought the end of Edgetho's Quarrel." [ lines 204- 205 ] Ultimately taking all the credit.

Hrothgar is allowing Beowulf to fight his battle for him because he desperately needs the help (not that he's willing to admit that to Beowulf). Before the arrival of Beowulf, Hrothgar had resorted to "sacrificing to the old stone gods" (lines 90-95). However, the only reason that Hrothgar is willing to admit is that Beowulf 'owed him one'. He sites reasons such as "the reception your father found at our court" (line 192). This referring to Beowulf's father Edgetho who was accepted by the Danes in a time of stress.

Hrothgar allowed Beowulf to fight his battles because he had already failed before, so he needed help. In lines 40-50, Hrothgar is hopeless and mourning after the first attack, where he lost 30 of his men. He also felt as if Beowolf owed him. In lines 191-222, he tells Beowulf about his father, and how Hrothgar once helped him.

I think Hrothgar allowed Beowulf to fight his battles for him because he was to scared to face Grendel himself so he figures he’ll let Beowulf take care of him.

Hrothgar allowed beowulf to fight his battle for him because beowulf was not one of his people so he did not care if beowulf died. (Lines 184-185) Hrothgar has also tried everything other to fight Grendel off like sacrificing to the devil because all his men ran away (lines 90-91)

# data[].attributes.body
Hrothgar was to scared to actually fight back, he had said they tried their best to fight but he was to strong, even when they just ran away. (Line 54-56; 208-212). He then makes it seem as though Beuwolf should be honored to fight for them since Hrothegar housed Beuwolfs father. (Lines 192-224)

Brother allowed Beowulf to fight his battles ecause he was not putting one of his own men at risk. Text support for this is in lines 54-58 saying that Hrothgar and his men ran instead of fighting.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that hrothgar allowed Beowulf to fight his battles for him because Beowulf was not one of his people so it did not matter to him much (lines 184-185 ). Hrothgar s men didn't even try to stand up and fight Grendel instead majority of them backed down (lines60-63)
