Girion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Girion is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, mentioned briefly in The Hobbit. He was the last Lord of Dale, killed by the dragon Smaug when Smaug assaulted Dale and the neighboring Dwarf realm of Erebor. One-hundred and seventy years later, Bard, assumed to be Girion's descendant, took revenge on the dragon by slaying him with an arrow. It is also mentioned in The Hobbit that Girion had a necklace of emeralds, later found among the treasures hoarded by Smaug in the Lonely Mountain, and given by Bard to the Elven King for his aid.
