Gléowine

Gléowine was a minstrel and a man of Rohan.

Biography
During the funeral of King Théoden, Gléowine made a song about the King's fall, and also named the previous Kings of Rohan. It was said that Gléowine made no songs afterwards.

 Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day's rising he rode singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. Hope he rekindled, and in hope he ended; over death, over dread, over doom lifted out of loss, out of life, unto long glory.

Etymology
The name Gléowine might mean "music-friend", from gléo ("music, harp") and wine ("friend"). The suffix -wine can also be seen in Fréawine and Goldwine.
