Edith Mary Tolkien (née Bratt) (January 21, 1889 – November 29, 1971) was the daughter of Frances Bratt and Alfred Frederick Warrilow. She would become J.R.R. Tolkien's wife. They were married on Wednesday, March 22, 1916 in Warwickshire, England. She was the mother of his four children: John, Michael, Christopher, and Priscilla.
Edith and her husband were very close. Ronald referred to her as his Lúthien and he was her Beren, the main characters of the Quest for the Silmaril from The Silmarillion.
