Simple. But doing what you know is right, without seeking any payment for it. In the beginning of the book, Beowulf comes to Herrods hall because he has heard of his troubles with Grendel. He does what is right, and helps Herrod. The reward was a bonus. (The reword was also a given at that time.) Also remember that at the end of the saga, Beowulf faces the dragon knowing it would mean his death, but his people would survive. He asked nothing of his people, even when they tried to hold him back.
