Beowulf and Grendel had a horrid final battle in which
each put the most of each in order to defeat the other. What we do know is that right on
the most poignant moment in the story Beowulf saw a sword all of a sudden which is
described as:
An old giantish sword with firm edges, An honour
of warriors, it was the choicest
weapon.....
From what we can
infer, that sword was an ancient and powerful symbol of ultimate defeat which he took in
a very heroic moment. With all the might in his heart he grabbed such sword and struck
her through the neck, breaking her bones and decapitating her with it. Therefore,
Grendel's mother was beheaded by a old gigantic sword.
