Morwen was a daughter of Baragund of the House of Bëor, and she married Húrin of the House of Marach. She was the mother of Túrin Turambar and Nienor Níniel.

Morwen is also a character in the Lord of the Rings movies directed by Peter Jackson. She is the mother of Freda and Éothain (other characters invented for the films), and she sends them to alert Théoden that the wild men are galavanting through Rohan burning villages. Her children are kept at Edoras until Théoden leads the people of Edoras to seek shelter at Helm's Deep, where the children are reunited with their mother.
