History[edit]
He was born during the rule of his great-grandfather Aldor the Old, and was aged 26, already a father, when Aldor finally died and the crown passed to Goldwine's grandfather Fréa.
Goldwine became King at the death of his father Fréawine in Third Age 2680, when he was 61 years old.
Goldwine died in 2699 after a rule of nineteen years. He was followed by his son Déor.[1]
Etymology[edit]
Goldwine is an Old English name. It means "liberal and kindly prince" and consists of gold ("gold") and wine ("friend").[2]
