The poem Widsith also mentions Hroðgar and Hroðulf, but indicates that the feud with Ingeld did not end until the latter was defeated at Heorot:
| lines 45–59: | |
| Hroþwulf ond Hroðgar heoldon lengest | Hroðulf and Hroðgar held the longest |
| sibbe ætsomne suhtorfædran, | peace together, uncle and nephew, |
| siþþan hy forwræcon wicinga cynn | since they repulsed the Viking-kin |
| ond Ingeldes ord forbigdan, | and Ingeld to the spear-point made bow, |
| forheowan æt Heorote Heaðobeardna þrym. | hewn at Heorot Heaðobard's army. |
This piece suggests that the conflict between the Scyldings Hroðgar and Hroðulf on one side, and the Heaðobards Froda and Ingeld on the other, was well known in Anglo-Saxon England. This conflict also appears in Scandinavian sources, but in the Norse tradition the Heaðobards had apparently been forgotten and the conflict is instead rendered as a family feud (see Hrólf Kraki's saga and Skjöldunga saga).
