Barahir of Ithilien

Barahir was the grandson of Faramir and Éowyn, and may have been the son of Elboron.
== Biography ==
Barahir lived in the second century of the Fourth Age, possibly during the threat of the New Shadow in Gondor. He was also the author of The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen.The Lord of the Rings, Prologue, v: "Note on the Shire Records" Nothing else of his life is known.
== Lineage ==
Except for his grandparents Faramir and Éowyn, the details of Barahir's descent are uncertain. In The Heirs of Elendil (the ultimate basis for much of Appendix A), there is a single mention of a son of Faramir - apparently his only child - named Elboron.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. XII: The Peoples of Middle-earth, chapter VII: "The Heirs of Elendil" It is widely speculated that this Elboron was Barahir's father. This would in turn presumably see Barahir inheriting the titles of Steward of Gondor and Prince of Ithilien, though it should be emphasized that none of this is explicitly stated by Tolkien.
== Trivia ==
* Barahir was presumably named after Barahir, a leader of Men in the First Age.
