and was slain by the Dwarves, who wanted a part of Scatha's hoard.
Note 3: He captured a wild horse and tried to mount it, but was thrown down
on a rock, and thus died. This horse was later subdued by his son Eorl.
(LOTR Appendix A II, Pgs 1039-1040)
Note 4: He was the founder of the realm of Rohan, and aided Cirion of Gondor
in the Battle of the Field of Celebrant against the Orcs and the
Easterlings. For this the province of Calenardhon was given to the
Rohirrim, and since then it was called Rohan; and Eorl promised
Cirion to help him in the defence of Gondor from invaders.
In the year 2545 he fell in a battle against the Easterlings in the Wold.
(LOTR, Appendix A II, Pgs 1039, 1042)

(LOTR, V, 3; Appendix A II, Pg 1042)
Note 6: Brego's second son, he lived for 101 years, from which he had been king
for 75 years, and thus gained the name 'The Old'. Increased the power

Note 7: In his time the Dunlendings started to invade Rohan from the west
and captured Isengard, in 2710.
Note 8: He was a man of great strength, and thus gained the title 'Hammerhand'.
After an arguement with Freca, a descendant of Folcwine, who wanted Helm's
daughter to be his son's wife, he killed him by a blow of his fist.
Four years afterwards, in the days of the Long Winter (2758), Rohan
was invaded both from the east and from the west, and the attack from
the west was led by Freca's son Wulf. Helm was defeated and was driven
back to Hornburg and the ravine behind (Helm's Deep), where he was
besieged and slain. In the meanwhile,
8a: Wulf took Edoras and crowned himself as king, and then Haleth, Helm's son,
was slain at the doors of Meduseld.
In the meanwhile, Helm was besieged in Hornburg, and there was a great hunger there;
then, Háma, Helm's second son, led a group of men out "on a sortie and foray",
but they were lost in the snow.
Then, Helm started to go out himself, and one night his horn was heard,
but he didn't return to Hornburg. In the morning he was found standing,
but dead. (LOTR Appendix A II, Pgs 1040-1041, 1043)
Note 9: Fréaláf Hildeson was the son of Helm's sister Hild, and he succeeded Helm.
In the year 2759 he came with a small company of men to Edoras and took
Wulf at unawares and slew him, and then Edoras was recaptured.
In the Winter many of the enemies perished, and afterwards there came
aid from Gondor, and the Dunlendings were driven back over the Isen,
and the Easterlings were also defeated.
A year after Saruman settled in Isengard, and helped the Rohirrim
after the Winter, in the Days of Dearth, and after that also.
Beren, Steward of Gondor, gave him the keys from the Orthanc, and
both he and Fréaláf were glad to know that it was held by a strong friend.
(LOTR Appendix A II, Pgs 1041-1043)
Note 10: In his days Orcs began to flee from te Misty Mountains to Rohan,
and he had to fought with them, but he didn't hunt out them all.
(LOTR Appendix A II, Pg 1043)
Note 11: He was trapped and slain by Orcs in the White Mountains, as he
had been riding down from Dunharrow. (LOTR Appendix A II, Pg 1043)
Note 12: He was a great hunter, and vowed to hunt nothing while there had been Orcs
in Rohan. So he did, and afterwards, when all the Orcs were killed, went to
a hunt and was mortally wounded by the great boar of Everholt, whom he hunted.
(LOTR Appendix A II, Pg 1043)
Note 13: In his days Rohan fully recovered its strength of old.
He reconquered the Westfold, which was occupied by the Dunlendings.
When he heard that Gonodr had been attacked by the Haradrim, he sent
a big host to aid Gondor, and then his two sons,
13a: Folcred and Fastred, were slain (2885).
(LOTR Appendix A II, Pg 1043)

his father died and he was called back by the Rohirrim.
Although he didn't want to be King, he accepted their call, and proved
himself as a good and wise king. In his days Saruman declared himself
Lord of Isengard and began a war against Rohan.
(LOTR Appendix A II, Pgs 1043-1044)
Note 16: He was the only son of Thengel, and was born in Gondor. When he grew old
he fell into a decline under Saruman's spells (see Wormtongue),
but was healed by Gandalf, and in the last year of his life, 3019 TA,
arose and went to a war first against Saruman, and defeated him at Hornburg,
and then went to Gondor and aided it in the Battle of Pelennor Fields,
where he was slain. (LOTR, III, 6-8; V, 3, 5-6; Appendix A II, Pg 1044)
Note 17: Éomund of Eastfold was Chief Marshal of the Mark.
He was responcible for the defence of the eastern borders of Rohan,
and was slain by a raid of Orcs in 3002.

took her children, Éomer and Éowyn, into his house.
(LOTR Appendix A II, Pg 1044)

In 3017 he became Marshal of the Mark, and became responcible for the
eastern borders of Rohan. After
18a: his cousin Théodred was slain in the battle of the Crossing of Isen,
he became Th´oden's heir.
After Théoden was slain in the Battle of Pelennor Fields he became
King of the Mark, and was friend of Elessar of Gondor and of Imrahil
of Dol-Amroth, whose daughter Lothíriel he wed in the year 3021 TA.
Ιomer and Elessar renewed Eorl's Oath and Cirion's Gift, and Éomer
often rode with King Elessar to battles against Sauron's former servants.
(LOTR, III, 6; V, 6; Appendix A II, Pgs 1044-1045)
Note 19: Éowyn was Éomer's sister. She went with the Rohirrim army to the Pelennor Fields,
against her father's wil, and there she, with the aid of Meriadoc of the Shire
slew the First Nazgûl, the Witch-King, and after that was called
The Lady of the Shield-Arm. After Sauron's downfall she became the wife
of Faramir, Steward of Gondor. (LOTR, V, 6; Appendix A II, Pgs 1044-1045)
