Elfwine

In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, Elfwine the Fair was the nineteenth King of Rohan.

Elfwine was the first son of Éomer Éadig (King of Rohan) and Lothíriel, (daughter of Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth). Through his mother, Elfwine was a first cousin once removed of Prince Faramir of Ithilien, the Steward of Gondor. He succeeded his father as King after Éomer's death in the year F.A. 63, and ruled long after.

As Elfwine ruled in the Fourth Age, after the Red Book of Westmarch had been written, little is known about him, but it can be speculated that as an ally of Gondor his was a rule of peace in which the Rohirrim recovered from the War of the Ring.
