Fengel was the 15th King of Rohan. Fengel was the son of Folcwine. Folcwine was a good king but his son did not follow suit. "He is not remembered with praise. He was greedy of food and gold, and at strife with his marshals, and with his children" (p. 350, The Return of the King). In fact, Fengel's only son, Thengel, left Rohan and lived in Gondor serving, with great honor, Turgon the Steward.
