Hnæf

Hnæf (d. 450?), son of Hoc, was a Danish prince mentioned in the Old English poems Beowulf and the Finnsburg Fragment. According to Widsith, Hnæf ruled the Hocings.

He was the brother of Hildeburh and brother-in-law of Finn, who ruled the Frisians and was killed during a Danish expedition to Frisian territory. (See Finnsburg Fragment for details.)
