Lothíriel

Queen to Éomer Éadig

Imrahil
Elphir
Erchirion
Amrothos
Lothíriel
Éomer
Elfwine

Note that the names of Lothíriel's three elder brothers - Elphir, Erchirion and Amrothos - appear only in volume XII of The History of Middle-earth.

The youngest child, and only daughter, of Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth. After the War of the Ring in the year III 3021, when she would have been twenty-two years old, she became queen to King Éomer of Rohan. The royal couple had a son, Elfwine, who bore a close resemblance to Lothíriel's father Imrahil, and may have inherited some of the Elvish blood that was said to run in the veins of that family.


Notes

1

Lothíriel's birthdate comes from the drafts of Appendix A to The Lord of the Rings, given in volume XII of The History of Middle-earth, and so is not strictly canonical. The only completely reliable date we have for Lothíriel is III 3021, the year she wedded Éomer of Rohan.
