Freca is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth. He appears in the Appendices of Return of the King as a Dunlending lord who challenged the King of Rohan.
Freca was a Dunlending noble with Rohirric blood, who held lands at either side of the river Adorn, the border of Rohan, and claimed to be a descendant of King Fréawine of Rohan, despite having very dark hair, the hereditary hair colour of the Dunlendings.
He planned to let his son, Wulf, marry the daughter of the King of Rohan, Helm Hammerhand. Freca marched to Edoras with a great force of Men, planning to threaten the King to comply with his demands, but Helm Hammerhand smote him with his fist and killed him.[1]
