Fréa (Third Age 2570 – 2659, aged 89 years) was the fourth of the Kings of Rohan.
History
Fréa the great-grandson of Eorl the Young, and succeeded the long-lived Aldor. He was already seventy-five years old when he came to the throne. His fourteen-year reign is recorded as one of peace and prosperity.[1]
Etymology
The Old English name Frēa is one of the words for "lord". It is also related to the Norse name "Freyr". The element appears also in the names Fréaláf and Fréawine.
Fréan is also the name that Eriol gave to the Valar in his Old English "translation" of the Quenta Silmarillion.[2]
