Also called Morwen of Lossarnach, the queen to King Thengel of Rohan, and mother to his heir Théoden. She was much younger than her husband, who wedded her late in his life, and they lived for a time in her homeland of Lossarnach, to the south and west of Minas Tirith. When his father Fengel died, Thengel inherited Kingship of Rohan, and travelled with Morwen back to his own land. Morwen bore five children in all, including Thengel's heir Théoden, and Théodwyn, who would be the mother of Éomer and Éowyn.
