Heorrenda, or Éadwine, and Hendwine, or Hlúdwine, were the sons of Ælfwine/Eriol and the elf-maiden Naimi in earlier versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium.
Biography[]
When his first wife Cwén died, Ælfwine was prompted to leave his home and travel to Tol Eressëa. In Tol Eressëa, he drunk the limpë, returning young and becoming immortal. After that, he married the elf-maiden Naimi, and the couple had two sons: Heorrenda and Hendwine.[1][2]
Heorrenda, called "the harper"[2], completed the Golden Book, which contained stories of the Elves, started by his father.[3]
Etymology[]
In Old English, Heorrenda has an uncertain meaning, while Éadwine means "wealth/fortune friend".[4] The equivalents of Heorrenda in Early Quenya and in Gnomish were respectively Heruven and Herwent.[2]
In Old English Hendwine means "close friend", while Hlúdwine means "loud/sonorous friend". The equivalents of Hendwine in Early Quenya and Gnomish were Helúsion and Lúthien.[2]
Other versions of the legendarium[]
Afterwards, the sons of Ælfwine led their people to the reconquest of Leithian and the established themselves in the land of Tavrobel the Old, who will become the village of Great Haywood, where they planted the Pine of Belawryn, a descendant of the Pine of Tavrobel.[3]
