Answer:

1. Selflessness

2. Courage

3. Love

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poem Beowulf, we learn of a fearsome creature named Grendel who terrorized the people of Hrothgar and who had very negative traits. However, Beowulf volunteered himself to go and conquer Grendel even though his connection with the people of Hrothgar was a very distant one. A king can learn;

1. Selflessness from Beowulf. He was willing even to sacrifice his life for this people who were under siege by a fearsome creature. Kings should imbibe the quality of selflessness as this would help them to make sacrifices for their people

.

2. Courage. Beowulf never feared that Grendel could have taken his life, instead he set out on the path of doing his best to rescue this people.

3. Love. Deep-seated love and empathy for people made Beowulf determined to make the sacrifices in the poem.
