Baragund (F.A. 420-460) was part of the House of Bëor, the oldest of the Three Houses of Men who befriended the Elves. He was the son of Bregolas and a direct descendant of Bëor the Old. He had one daughter, Morwen and was the grandfather of Túrin Turambar.[1] He survived the Dagor Bragollach ("Battle of Sudden Flame") and lived as an outlaw with his uncle Barahir and some companions.[2] They were eventually betrayed to Sauron and killed.[3]
