Just correcting the spelling:

What did Hrothgar offer as recompense for Beowulf’s heroism in offering to help rid the west Danes of Grendel?

Answer:

Hrothgar offered Beowulf the bond of kinship and treasures.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Beowulf" is one of the most famous epic poems of all time. It takes the name of its main character, the hero Beowulf, who fights and defeats three monsters: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon. Beowulf is "hired" by king Hrothgar to get rid of those monsters, and is offered an incredible reward.

Once Beowulf has killed Grendel and his mother, he is rewarded with the bond of kinship, a sword, an embroidered banner, breast-mail, and an adorned helmet. Hrothgar also gives Beowulf eight horses with gold bridles, and gives his men treasures and gold.
