in a passage of "beowulf", a bard sings a song about the ending of the battle, here named "freswael". this is the same story as in the finnesburg fragment. while in less detail, the "beowulf" episode is complete. here it is seen that the frisians won the battle. the danish prince hnaef and finn's son died in the battle. after the fighting, the parties make peace, and the new danish leader "hingest" (who some have identified as hengest) is allowed to leave with the surviving danes.
