Beowulf ´s place has been found in Sweden, in a place that used to belong to Denmark, called Uppåkra, maybe earlier Ullaker and Lund. In a landscape, region called Skadiney in the 500 c, by the anglosaxons called Scedenige by laws of mutation. In the same way the danes and the anglians were called dene and engle. The anglo-saxons(Alfred the Great, 900c)called Skåne, as it is called nowadays, for Scóneg, also with a (soft?)g in the ending. The nordic ey probably was received by the anglo-saxons a soft g. Also Scedeland is has a parallel as Skåne, Halland and Bornholm used to be called Skåneland. Nowadays it normally means just Skåne or Scania as it is called in Latin.
