Cwén

Cwén was the first wife of Eriol, according to the early version of the legendarium in The Book of Lost Tales.

History

Cwén married Eriol (then called Ottor) after he settled on the island of Heligoland in the North Sea, in the Great Lands.

Together, they had two sons called Hengest and Horsa, named so in honour of their grandfather Eoh (since the names share a similar meaning).

Sometime after, while Hengest and Horsa were still children, Cwén died, prompting Eriol to abandon the Great Lands and seek for Tol Eressëa.

Etymology

The name Cwén is in Old English, meaning "woman, wife".

Genealogy
  • The name of Hendwine's mother is not Naimi but Nelmir in the text on which the basis of his inclusion is founded upon - neither is her relation to Lindo and Vairë elaborated on.
