#goldwine

          Goldwine was the son of Fréawine, and the sixth King of Rohan. Like his father and grandfather before him, he ruled in a time of peace and plenty, and thus few of his deeds were remembered in the songs of the Rohirrim. His wife was Trewred, a brilliant woman who had spent some of her youth in Gondor, where she learned to read and write. Though these skills were not particularly useful as the Queen of Rohan, an unlettered people, she nonetheless provided solid counsel to her husband.           The son of Trewred and Goldwine was Déor, a great hunter and lover of hounds. In his reign, the peace of Rohan established by his ancestor Aldor the Old came to an end when the Dunlendings took to raiding the herds and horses of the Rohirrim across the River Isen. Though his wife Estmund feared for his safety, Déor led an expedition north, finding and defeating a host of enemies, but discovered that his foes had taken the tower of Isengard and could not be dislodged. He called upon the Oath of Círion and Éorl, asking Steward Egalmoth for aid, but Gondor faced an attack of orcs and could not send a force to help. Instead, Déor established a strong force of riders in the north of the Westfold and hoped his son Gram would be able to win back the fortress that he could not.

          Fréa was the son of Aldor the Old, and the fourth King of Rohan. He came to the throne already aged, for his father’s rule was long, and reigned for fourteen years of peace and prosperity. His wife was Burnhild, a shieldmaiden who in her youth had traveled south to Gondor hunting orcs. She bore him only one child, a son, Fréawine.           Fréawine likewise ruled in a time of plenty. His wife Bledswith was a keen politician, using her sweet nature to win the loyalty of any of Fréawine’s lords who stirred up rumbles of dissent. She passed this skill to Goldwine, the elder of her sons, but the younger, Grimwine, was less adept.           Grimwine did not envy his brother’s status as the King’s heir, glad of the freedom he had to embark on long hunts with only a few of his closest friends. Unlike the other Rohirrim, Grimwine earned the respect of the Dunlendings, who aided him in his journeys, and his descendants would eventually mingle with the folk of Dunland.

Goldwine was the name of a moneyer in London during the reign of King Eadweard III (the Confessor): (approximately) “✠GOLDPINE ON LVND” [Herbert Grueber 1893 A Catalogue of English Coins in the British Museum, Anglo-Saxon Series 2: 404, number 880].

Champagne . This evening I was invited to the Italian Ambassador's residence for Leonardo 500th death's anniversary... we saw the docufilm 'Leonardo cinquecento' and after we had dinner and brindisi with Ambassador Failla and his wife we take part into a very close Christmas party with all italian people was there... it was a very special event and it was obviously a great honor and a pleasure to be there. The film was very interesting and give to me many suggestions. Leonardo was a genius about all the arts in 'Rinascimento' period, even in architecture, he was an artist ... a scientist... an architect... a painter... an inventor... a.designer... there are no words to explain about who really was him... we can only say that he was a genius, and he was Italian. ..! ♡ . . . #champagne #brindisi #goldwine #sparklingwine #leonardocinquecento #docufilm # @italianembassyseoul (presso Home, UN-Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OBMJunW3Y/?igshid=1550jt8kb7s9f
