Lineage and Life

Baragund was of the House of Bëor, a son of Bregolas and so of the close kindred of Barahir, and a lord of his people. After the Dagor Bragollach the lands and lords of Dorthonion were overrun, and Baragund, with his brother Belegund, remained with Barahir and the small company of outlaws that held out in the woods of Dorthonion. The company was betrayed by the treachery of Gorlim and set upon at Tarn Aeluin; there Baragund was slain, and of all Barahir’s band only Beren escaped.

His daughter was Morwen, called Eledhwen the Elf-fair, who after her father’s death wed Húrin of the House of Hador; their children were Túrin and Nienor, and (in her mother’s line) the sorrowful house of Morwen and Rían enters the great tale of the Children of Húrin.

Significance

Through his daughter Morwen, Baragund carries the blood of Bëor’s house into the deepest tragedy of the First Age; the fierceness, pride and ill-fated iron of Morwen and her sons is the inheritance of his line.
