There is more than one king in Beowulf.
The King of the Danes is Hrothgar:
Hrothgar is a good king. He lives in the Kingdom that Grendel is terrorizing. He is noble, but is unable to fight. Therefore he calls Beowulf, to whom he is a father figure. He is the symbol of what type of king Beowulf becomes.
The King of the Geats is Hygelac:
Hygelac is Beowulf's father. He is also a good king.
The main kings mentioned in Beowulf are Hrothgar, king of the Danes, and Beowulf, prince of the Geats who later becomes king. Other kings mentioned include Hygelac, Beowulf's uncle and king of the Geats, and Hrethel, Hygelac's father.
Hrothgar was King of the Danes. Beowulf's father was King of the Geats; and later Beowulf himself became King of Geatland.
