purething - actually the first reference has been incorrectly reported to be in the first verse of Beowulf. Here is the corrected translation; Attend! We have heard of the thriving of the throne of Denmark, how the folk-kings flourished in former days, how those royal athelings earned that glory. - "folk-kings" - careful how you pronounce it ... hope taht helps ....
