Children of Húrin

Túrin, Niënor and Lalaith

Húrin and Morwen together had three children, though their daughter Lalaith died when she was still very young. In the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, Morgoth captured Húrin, and set a terrible curse on his surviving children, his son Túrin and daughter Niënor. The story of the working of this curse is a long and tragic one, involving the Sack of Nargothrond, the slaying of Glaurung, and ultimately the deaths of both Túrin and Niënor. It is told in the Narn i Chîn Húrin, the 'Tale of the Children of Húrin'.
