Yes, i hope im not responding too late, but yes!.
Firstly the warrior code is called comitatus!.
The four I would say reflect it best are generosity, bravery, loyalty, and fate (although that one is questionable and hard to explain)!.
The warrior code is demonstrated three times in the epic peom!.
First when Beowulf and him men are in the great Hrothgar's Mead-Hall fighting Grendel!. The men "defend their lord's life" even though their swords are unable to cut Grendel's thick skin, and their death could be upon them!.
Second, it occures when Beowulf fights Grendel's mother!. Beowulf is underwater for what can be assumed as 9 hours! That's a long time!. Him men, however, stay at the water's edge the whole time awaiting his triumphant return!.
The third time it is initiated is when Beowulf fights his last battle, with the dragon who represents fate!. Beowulf is seemingly on the loseing end, and 11 men run from him, however one stays (note that he had 12 disciples or thanes - Biblical allusion) The one who stays follows the code, and thus when the monster is defeated is the only one left with dignity to scould the awol child-soldiers (note I used a kenning)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
