Beowulf is a fictional character in an annonymously penned epic poem contained in a single manuscript known as the Nowell Codex. Since little is known about the author of this Anglo-Saxon writing from between the 8th and 11th century, no one can say for certain that the character was not based in part on a living person, but there is no evidence that suggests Beowulf is not fictional.
Beowulf is thought to be a mix of historical elements and fictional characters based on oral traditions. It may have been inspired by real events or figures, but it is primarily a legendary tale passed down through generations in the form of an epic poem.

Answer:
A story based on ogres, trolls, dragons, and heros that can survive under water etc. is not likely to be based on truth. Like Texas Chainsaw Massacre where the true bits are that there is a Texas and they do make chainsaws, the truth in Beowulf is that the wandering hero was a figure in many stories, Denmark and the other lands did exist and swords and armour were used in fighting.
