'''Hengest''' is also a character in the ''Fight at Finnsburg'' narrative mentioned in the [[Finnsburg Fragment]] and the [[Beowulf]] poem. In these texts, Hengest is a [[Daner|Danish]] warrior who takes control of the Danish forces after the prince [[Hnæf]] is killed, and succeeds in killing the [[Frisian]] lord [[Finn]] in revenge for his lord's death.
 
TheÞá eventsbelimpas in these accounts had a historical basis, and have been supposed by historians to have occurred approximately [[450]] A.D. This makes these events contemporary with the [[Anglo-Saxon]] invasion of England, though what connection (if any) exists between the two Hengests is unknown.
 
Nevertheless, some have speculated that the two Hengests are one and the same. A point against this theory is the fact that one Hengest is described as a Jute and the other a Dane, though this does not serve as a conclusive disproof, as distinctions between adjacent groups (both Jutes and Danes lived in Denmark) were sometimes vague.
