This poem could apply to Beren from The Silmarillion. Beren famously lost his hand in a battle with the wolf Carcharoth after retrieving a Silmaril from Morgoth's crown. Without the help of his cousin Finrod Felagund, Beren would have surely died in that battle.

Another character from The Silmarillion that this poem could apply to is Maedhros. Maedhros also lost his right hand in battle after being captured and chained by Morgoth. He was eventually rescued by his cousin Fingon, who cut off Maedhros' hand in order to free him from his chains. Without Fingon's help, Maedhros would have likely died in captivity.

Thank you for confirming! Maitimo, also known as Maedhros, is indeed the correct Silmarillion character that this poem could apply to. Maedhros is one of the sons of Fëanor and is known for losing his hand in a battle with Morgoth. His cousin Fingon plays a crucial role in rescuing him from captivity.
