Indexes: Alphabetical: F Others About this entry: Updated 22 October 2021 Updates planned: 1 The leaders of the resistance to Sauron In full the 'Free Lords of the Free', a term used by Boromir at the Council of Elrond to describe the leaders of those who opposed the power of Sauron in Middle-earth. Boromir does not expand upon his meaning, but in context he clearly has his father Denethor the Steward of Gondor especially in mind, while also including those other lords1 present at the Council such as Elrond and Gandalf, and perhaps also himself. He was at the time making an argument that the Ring should be used as a weapon by the Free Lords, but both Elrond and Gandalf immediately rejected the idea, and Boromir reluctantly accepted their counsel. Notes 1 The term 'lord' is clearly meant rather loosely in this context, as Elrond was 'lord' only of the small valley of Rivendell, and Gandalf held no official lordly rank at all. Rather, the word is intended more as a title of respect, and indeed we later discover that, in Minas Tirith, Gandalf is titled 'the Lord Mithrandir' even by Denethor himself (The Return of the King V 1, Minas Tirith).
