Children of Húrin

Húrin and Morwen together had three children, though their daughter Lalaith died when she was still very young. In the Nirnaeth Arnoediad ("Battle of Unnumbered Tears"), Morgoth captured Húrin, and set a terrible curse on his surviving children, his son Túrin and daughter Nienor. The story of the working of this curse is a long and tragic one, involving the Sack of Nargothrond, the slaying of Glaurung, and ultimately the deaths of both Túrin and Nienor. It is told in the Narn i Hîn Húrin, the "Tale of the Children of Húrin".
