'''Barahir''' was the grandson of [[Faramir]] and [[Éowyn]].


Except for his grandparents [[Faramir]] and [[Éowyn]], the details of Barahir's descent are uncertain. In [[The Heirs of Elendil]] (the ultimate basis for much of [[Appendix A]]), there is a single mention of a son of [[Faramir]] - apparently his only child - named [[Elboron]]. It isn't completely clear whether [[Tolkien]] meant this character to stand, but it seems reasonable to speculate that this [[Elboron]] was Barahir's father. This would in turn presumably see Barahir inheriting the titles of Steward of [[Gondor]] and Prince of [[Ithilien]], though it should be emphasised that none of this is explicitly stated by [[Tolkien]]. ([[The Heirs of Elendil]] appears in [[The Peoples of Middle-earth]], volume 12 of [[The History of Middle-earth]]).
