Changes: Barahir

Revision as of 11:12, 23 September 2016

This article is about the man of Dorthonion. For the other namesakes, see Barahir (disambiguation).

Barahir was an Edain Man of Dorthonion during the First Age, heir to the House of Bëor (First House of the Edain), youngest son and last child of Bregor (fifth chieftain of the People of Bëor), husband of Emeldir the Man-hearted who was also of the House of Bëor, and Barahir was most famous for being the father of the renowned Beren Erchamion (Beren the One-handed). He was also the fourth Lord of Ladros and the seventh and probably last Chieftain of the Bëorians after his deceased elder brother Bregolas.^[2]^[3] Besides his elder brother, Barahir had three elder sisters: Bregil, Hirwen, and Gilwen.^[4]

Biography

Earlier, Barahir had fought at the Dagor Bragollach, saving Finrod Felagund's life earning him and his house the friendship of the House of Finarfin. For this, he received "Barahir's Ring", which was then handed down the family line. After the Dagor Bragollach by FA 456^[1], Barahir lived with twelve companions on the highland of Dorthonion at Tarn Aeluin as outlaws defying the will of Morgoth whose forces hunted him and his company like wild beasts.^[5] The members of his outlaw band was his son Beren, his nephews Baragund the elder and Belegund the younger, Radhruin and Dairuin, Gildor and Gorlim the Unhappy, Arthad, and Urthel, and Hathaldir the Young.

For five years, Barahir led his doomed band of outlaws until FA 460 when they were betrayed to Sauron by Gorlim, a lovesick member of Barahir's outlaw band and Barahir was killed at Tarn Aeluin along with everyone in his company save for Beren his son who was gone on an errand for them and thus luckily happened to be not there. Barahir's remains were buried in a cairn by his son at Tarn Aeluin save for his hand which was chopped off by an Orc captain of Morgoth. Beren later slew that Orc-captain and recovered the renowned Ring of Barahir. Barahir's son then escaped Dorthonion after all and lived on to fulfill a great destiny.^[6]

Legacy

Barahir's service to Finrod and House of Finarfin left behind a legacy of respect between the House of Bëor, later generations of Men, and Elves. This friendship led to the close association of the elves and the Dúnedain of Númenor and Arnor and Gondor. His ring also became an heirloom of the Dúnedain of the North of Middle-earth.

Later namesakes

Barahir was also the name of the eighth Steward of Gondor and was also the name of the grandson of Faramir and Éowyn in the Fourth Age, who wrote The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen.
