Thorin I

Thorin I (ruled 99 years, Third Age 2190 – 2289) was the son of Thráin I and King of Durin's folk. During his grandfather's time the Dwarves of Durin's folk were driven from Khazad-dûm and scattered throughout the northeast of Middle-earth. Though Thorin's father had established the Kingdom of Lonely Mountain, Thorin realized the most of his people had gathered in the Grey Mountains. To better lead them, he led the rest of his people north to rejoin their kin.

Thorin was the grandfather by six generations and the namesake of Thorin II Oakenshield, a hero of The Hobbit.
