Eota (Éo. "Eater" or "Giant") was a man of Westfold. Married to a wife, he was father of Marcswith, who was married to King Gram the Fierce and mother of Helm Hammerhand and Hild. Legends of the Westfold made him a "Half-Giant" from the Misty Mountains. He was the forefather of the Eotacynn clan.
Notes[]
- Original form in The Two Towers GBA: Judkins. The game itself does not make clear if "Judkins" refers to the settlement, its inhabitants, or a specific person.
- "Eota" actually means "Jute", Jute being a possible origin of the English surname Judkins. The Jutes name may or may not be related to Norse "Jötunn" or Anglo-Saxon "Eoten", but descending from Giants is not uncommon in Anglo-Saxon myth.
