The court minstrel of Théoden of Rohan, Gléowine's name comes from the Old English for 'lover of music'. His only known work was the lament that he made for his King, sung at Théoden's graveside as he was buried in the Barrowfield outside Edoras. Telling of Théoden's return from sickness to lead his people to the aid of Gondor in the east, and his death on the battlefield of the Pelennor, it was said to be the last song that Gléowine the minstrel ever created.
