Topic: Thorin II Oakenshield


  
 Thorin Oakenshield
Thorin tried to fight them and he poked Bert in the eye with a flaming branch, but the Trolls seized him.
Thorin was styled Thorin II because he had an earlier ancestor named Thorin I. Völuspá: The Poetic Edda : Modern English translation by Bekie Marett
As a young Dwarf, Thorin was of an adventurous nature.

 Thorin II
Thorin II sets out for revenge upon Smaug, with him went Bilbo Baggins and twelve other Dwarves.
There is no tales telling what happened from 2770 to 2790 but we may assume that they went to Ered Mithrin where others of their people lived and that some of the refugees went to Grór in the Iron Hills.
Kíli defended him with their shields and bodies and they were slain.

 Middle-earth Mythology - Oakenshield, Thorin
This was accomplished, Thorin winning new reknown in the Battle of Five Armies afterward, when a horde of goblins descended upon Erebor to snatch the spoils, although he lost his life in these deeds.
Nice thoughts, but I'm not too sure your theory holds much promise.

 Middle-earth
When writing The Hobbit Tolkien did not yet consider that the world of Hobbits might be the same as his Middle-earth, but he still included several references to his (at the time) unpublished tales to give the story a sense of depth.
Thus Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield wield swords from Gondolin, and Elrond, ruler of Rivendell, is Half-elven.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Oakenshield
That is the legend of Thorin's surname within Tolkien's tales, but in fact it comes from a real-world source.
When he was just fifty-three (a young age for a Dwarf) he marched with a mighty Dwarf -army to the valley they called Azanulbizar, Nanduhirion beneath the East-gate of Moria.
Like many Dwarvish names, it appears in the Norse poem Völuspá in the form Eikinskjaldi, but there it is the personal name of a Dwarf, not a surname as in Tolkien's work.

It was founded in the middle of the Third Age by the Bree-hobbits Marcho and Blanco, and gifted to them and their followers by King Argeleb II of Arthedain, within whose borders the land lay at that time.
The Dwarves were driven out of here by Smaug the Golden, but as Smaug lay dead among the waves of Esgaroth, the Dwarves have since come back and continued the mining of this Glorious City.
A Dwarven colony that has been preserved and maintains still, many survivors of Smaug's desolation came here and its people also assisted the Fellowship and Thorin Oakenshield in the Battle of Five Armies.
