Grimbeorn, also known as Grimbeorn the Old, was Beorn's son.
Biography[]
Grimbeorn's date of birth is unknown, but it likely followed the Battle of Five Armies in the year TA 2941.
By the time of the War of the Ring, Grimbeorn ruled over the Vales of Anduin, presumably becoming chieftain of the Beornings after his father's death. As chieftain, he kept the High Pass and the Ford of Carrock free from Orcs and Wolves, though Glóin commented to Frodo Baggins shortly before the Council of Elrond that his "tolls are high" and he was "not over fond of Dwarves."[1]
In adaptations[]
In The Lord of the Rings Online, Grimbeorn is the lord of all Beornings and lives at his home, the Beorninghús, with his wife Gírta and three children: the eldest daughter Langhár, the middle son Sterkist and the youngest, who becomes the Beorning player's character after Grimbeorn sends them to find the Ranger Aragorn at the urging of Radagast. During the War of the Ring Grimbeorn visits the camp of Vindurhal in the High Pass of the Misty Mountains, but returns home soon after. After the destruction of the One Ring, Grimbeorn is visited by Gandalf, Legolas and the player on their journey back to Gondor after a brief visit to the northern lands. Already annoyed by a number of visitors, Grimbeorn is then forced to host a much larger procession when Elrond and much of his house stay at his lodge on their way to Minas Tirith for Arwen's wedding.
