Details

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In J. R. R. Tolkien''s legendarium, Gamling is a Man of Rohan. He appears in The Two Towers, the second volume of The Lord of the Rings. An older man (he is called "Gamling the Old"), he was from the Westfold. Gamling means "old man" in Old English, which is used to represent the language of Rohirric. Thus "Gamling" is not the character''s actual name. Nevertheless it is a linguistic pun reflecting the character''s age. The word and its meaning still survive in modern Swedish and Norwegian. Gamling understood the language of Dunland and was familiar with the hatred that the Dunlendings had for the Rohirrim. In Tolkien''s book, Gamling is left in charge of the forces defending Helm''s Dike (a fortification across the Deeping-coomb before the stronghold of the Hornburg defending Helm''s Deep) by command of Erkenbrand. About 1,000 men had been left to defend Helm''s Dike, including Gamling''s grandson, and Gamling notes that most of the defenders were either very old (like himself) or very young (like his grandson).
