A member of a Germanic tribe that lived in what is now southern Sweden during the Migration Period.
From Old English and Old Norse sources referring to the 'Geats' or 'Götar.' These people appear in historical records and in the epic of Beowulf as a powerful seafaring people.
The Geats were so significant in medieval Scandinavian culture that Beowulf himself was a Geat—making them part of literature's greatest adventures and real historical figures at the same time.
