Morwen Steelsheen

Morwen Steelsheen

In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Morwen Steelsheen (2922-?) was the spouse of Thengel. They married in 2943 and had five children, including Théoden and Théodwyn (mother of Éomer and Éowyn). Morwen means "dark lady" in Sindarin.

Morwen was 17 years younger than her husband, so she was probably born in 2922. She was believed to be born in Lossarnach. She was called "Steelsheen" because of her grace. Morwen appears to have died sometime before the War of the Ring.
