Folcwine (Third Age 2830 – 2903, aged 73 years) was the fourteenth King of Rohan.
History
Folcwine was the son of Folca "The Hunter", and great-grandfather of Théoden. Aided by Gondor, he drove out Dunlendings who occupied the area between Adorn and Isen and recovered that area.
In T.A. 2885 he also fulfilled the Oath of Eorl and sent many Rohirrim to the aid of Gondor against the Haradrim. However his twin sons Folcred and Fastred were both killed in that war, and Folcwine was succeeded by his youngest child, Fengel.[1][2]
Etymology
Folcwine means "folk-friend" in Old English.
