Frumgar was the fourth Lord of the Éothéod and the grandson of Forthwini.[note 1]

During his youth the Éothéod lived in the Vales of Anduin, near Mirkwood Forest. It was a dangerous area, beleaguered by the creatures of the Necromancer at Dol Guldur. However, in T.A. 1975 the evil Kingdom of Angmar was destroyed, freeing up land to the north. In T.A. 1977 Frumgar led the Éothéod to the vale beyond the rivers Greylin and Langwell.[1][2]

The settlement later known as Framsburg after his son, Fram, was built there.[3] Frumgar was remembered in the songs of the Rohirrim.[4]

Portrayal in adaptations

2020: The Lord of the Rings Online:

Frumgar appears in a flashback narrating the history of the Eotheod. He is shown befriending dwarves and Wizards at a young age, and his decision to move his people to the Wells of Langflood is partially motivated by his wife being killed in an orc raid.
