Elfwine was the son of Éomer and the nineteenth King of Rohan.
Biography[]
Elfwine was the first son of King Éomer and Lothíriel, the daughter of Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth. As Elfwine ruled in the Fourth Age after the Red Book of Westmarch had been written, not much is known about him or his deeds as ruler of Rohan, but he kept the ancient Oath of Eorl, maintaining the alliance of Rohan and Gondor. He became king in the year FO 63 upon his father's death and ruled long after.[1] Nothing further of his life is known.
He was said to have a striking resemblance to his maternal grandfather, Imrahil, the well-known Prince of Dol Amroth.[2]
Etymology[]
The name Elfwine is Old English, meaning "Elf-friend". His name is similar to Tolkien's Ælfwine of England.[3]
