Written some time before the 10^th century, a manuscript tells the epic tale of Beowulf, an ancient warrior king. One of the king’s servants had chanced upon a dragon’s lair laden with treasure. In an attempt to please his master, the servant stole a golden goblet. Enraged, the dragon took his terrible vengeance on the villages in the kingdom. Beowulf trekked to the lair and fought the dragon in a horrible deathly duel that the king lost. Wiglaf slew the dragon and assumed the throne. Perhaps Serendor was that dragon.
