Who is Isildur’s Wife in The Rings of Power S02? Estrid?

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 has introduced Estrid and fans are wondering if she is Isildur’s wife in the series. Moreover, many also want to know if Estrid is a villain in the new season . In Season 2, Estrid is depicted as a normal human hailing from the Southlands who meets Arondir and Isildur. She crosses paths with them while on a journey to find other Southlands inhabitants. Estrid manages to charm Isildur into trusting her easily but fails to do the same with the cautious Arondir.

So is Estrid Isildur’s wife in The Rings of Power Season 2? Is Estrid a villain in the new season? Here’s everything you need to know.

Is Estrid Isildur’s Wife in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2?

No, Estrid is not Isildur’s wife in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2.

However, the initial episodes of The Rings of Power S02 appear to tease a brewing romance between Isildur and Estrid. After meeting each other on relatively hostile terms, where she stabs him in the woods, the two grow very close as they accompany one another in their journey. They soon open up about the losses of their respective mothers with one another and have a tender moment.

However, in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings books, Isildur is mentioned as having a wife. Despite this, Isildur’s wife’s name is unknown. His wife is heavily mentioned in the book, The Peoples of Middle-Earth. She escaped Gondor along with Isildur and their sons by boarding a ship and going north from Anduin’s Mouths to Elendil in Arnor.

Is Estrid a villain in The Rings of Power Season 2?

It remains to be seen whether Estrid will be a villain in The Rings of Power Season 2.

However, the character appears to be rather sketchy. She has a mark of Mordor branded on her neck. Estrid chooses to hide the mark from Isildur and Arondir instead of honestly revealing it to them. She then burns herself with a knife to hide this mark. Moreover, Arondir also appears distrustful of her, as he believes she could be hiding something.

It won’t be a surprise if the so far seemingly normal Estrid is actually a sinister figure, perhaps Sauron or another villain associated with him. This is considering how Halbrand had almost everyone, including Galadriel, fooled for much of Season 1 before he revealed his true identity as Sauron .
