Who do you say Beorn is? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I also recall hearing that the Rohirrim were related to Beorn's folk... After much searching I have found it! This is the exact quote by Aragorn to Legolas and Gimli: "It was in forgotten years long ago that Eorl the Young brought them out of the North, and their kinship is rather with the Bardings of Dale, and with Beornings of the Wood, among whom may still be seen many men tall and fair, as are the Riders of Rohan."

On the subject of what was Beorn, were not some of the first men of M-e able to change shape? I am recalling an obscure reference from the Sil... though perhaps it is my imagination.
