Ingwë ([ˈiŋʷɡʷe]) was the King of the Vanyar in Valinor and was reckoned as High King of all the Elves.[6]
His name was loaned to the Vanyar, who also called themselves Ingwer; his proper name, that was also a title by itself, was Ingwë Ingweron, "Chief of the chieftains".[7]
History
Ingwe was one of the Minyar born or awoke near Cuiviénen. When Oromë found the Quendi and invited them to Aman, Ingwë with Finwë and Elwë followed him as ambassadors and traveled to the Blessed Realms. When they returned, they told their peoples about its beauty and bliss and became their leaders during the Great March. Ingwë was the leader of the Vanyar, the foremost of the clans to follow Oromë, who were the most eager to reach the West, which they did quickly.
After the Great March, Ingwë never returned or set eyes upon Middle-earth again.[8] He lived in Tirion, in the tower called Mindon Eldaliéva, but then he went to Taniquetil at the feet of Manwe.[6]
Indis, the second wife of Finwe, was of his close kin.[9]
Etymology
Ingwe.mp3 | |
By Ardamir. (Help; more articles) | |
In the Etymologies, Ingwe is said to be a compound of ing ("first") + the ending -we (Quenya "man").[10]
Other versions of the legendarium
In early versions of Tolkien's legendarium (see The History of Middle-earth) Ingwë's name was Inwë.
In that early writing Inwë (or Ing) was instead the name of a mortal man, the "King of Lúthien" (also spelled "Leithian" or "Luthany"), who was driven east over the sea by Ossë and became ruler of the ancestors of the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians. Eventually the Angles, Saxon, and Jutes returned to Lúthien, now long renamed as Britain.
Inspiration
Tolkien was here adapting traditions about a Germanic ancestral figure named Yngvi (also spelled "Ing", "Ingio", and "Ingui").[source?] He is seen as an eponymous ancestor of the Ingaevones, a people mentioned by Tacitus in his Germania as one of the three divisions of the Germanic tribes. In Scandinavian mythology, Yngvi was the mythological ancestor of the Swedish House of Ynglings and a name for the god Freyr.
Like Ingwë, Freyr was the lord of the Elves in Álfheim.[11]
