==History==
Upholding the [[Oath of Eorl]], he rode to the aid of [[Gondor]] with his brother, and both were slain in battle of the [[Haradrim]]. They were laid to rest where they fell, at the crossings of [[Poros]]. Their burial mound was called the [[Haudh in Gwanûr]], the Mound of the Twins.
==Etymology==
Folcred in [[Old English]] means "folk-rede, people-counsel".
