Folcwine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, Folcwine was the fourteenth King of Rohan.

Folcwine was the son of Folca the Hunter, and became king after his father was killed during a hunt in T.A. 2864. He completely re-conquered the West-march between the rivers Adorn and Isen from the Dunlendings.

He had four children; three sons and a daughter. His twin sons Folcred and Fastred fought in Gondor against the Haradrim, but were slain.

After a rule of 39 years, Folcwine was succeeded at his death in T.A. 2903 by his youngest son Fengel.
