Fréalaf
In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional univers of Middle-earth, Fréaláf Hildeson was the tenth King of Rohan, and first King of the second line.
Fréaláf was the nephew of Helm Hammerhand, and became king after Helm was killed in the siege of the Hornburg in 2759.
Fréaláf led a dairing raid that recaptured Edoras, and managed to reclaim it. He eventually managed to drive the Dunlendings back past the rivers Isen and Adorn, freeing all of Rohan.
At his coronation the Wizard Saruman suddenly appeared after years of absence, who offered Fréaláf his support and friendship. At Fréaláf's advise Beren the Steward of Gondor gave Saruman the keys to Orthanc, giving him Isengard to dwell in on the condition that he had to protect it from another conquering by the Dunlendings.
He ruled for 39 years, and was succeeded by his son Brytta Léofa at his death in 2798.
