The son of Dáin Ironfoot, who succeeded as King of Durin's Folk after his father's death in the War of the Ring.
Notes
1 |
We have no explicit record of the date of Thorin's death, but the Dwarves of Durin's line typically lived to the age of two hundred and fifty, with very little variation from one generation to the next. It's safe to assume, therefore, that Thorin III lived until about the year IV 96. |
2 |
It seems likely that Thorin III received his name in memory of his illustrious forebears Thorin I and (especially) Thorin II Oakenshield, who had recently become the King of Durin's Folk at the time of Thorin III's birth. |
