Beowulf said he would fight to beast alone even if he had his men beside him. The fight was terrible, so his men run into the woods feeling they can't do anything to defeat the dragon. But one man brave enough, Wiglaf, remained with King Beowulf and stood by his side to fight with him against the dragon. They killed the dragon but unfortunately, Beowulf died being fatally injured. As he dies, he requested to be buried in a certain way.
