Background
History
The name Roos derives from the Primitive Welsh ros meaning 'moor' or 'promontory'. The de Ros family originated from the village of Roos. Robert de Ros (died 1227) was one of the twenty-five barons appointed under clause 61 of the 1215 Magna Carta agreement to monitor its observance by King John of England.
Visiting
The meeting of Beren and Luthien in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings, was written after the author and his wife visited a wood near to Roos. The "hemlocks" in the wood are said to have inspired his verse.
