Which character is described in these lines? "The man-ruler famous, The long-worthy atheling, sat very woful, Suffered great sorrow, sighed for his liegemen, When they had seen the track of the hateful pursuer, The spirit accursed: too crushing that sorrow, Too loathsome and lasting." Beowulf Grendel Hrothgar Higelac

The correct answer should be Hrothgar. He is the Danish king who needs Beowulf's help because his liegemen are getting killed and he can't stop it.
