![]() Aragorn said that, as broken as Eowyn's heart had been over her unrequited love for Aragorn, her love for her brother was much more real to her, and a much more potent reason for her to live. In the battle's aftermath, Éomer attended to Éowyn in the Houses of Healing, and, with Aragorn and Meriadoc Brandybuck, helped call his sister back to consciousness. He and Aragorn later met on the battlefield and reaffirmed their loyalty to each other, before returning to the long, grim work of winning the battle. Coming upon their corpses, Éomer was driven to temporary madness at seeing Éowyn, his sister, among the King's retinue, apparently dead, and charged in renewed fury at the forces of Mordor. But Théoden was fatally crushed by his horse, Snowmane, after being attacked by the Witch-king's fellbeast. In the ensuing Battle of the Pelennor Fields Éomer fought gallantly, slaying many foes. The army of Rohan managed to arrive at the Pelennor Fields just as the Great Gate of Minas Tirith was breached. Théoden and Éomer rallied ten thousand men, leaving four thousand behind to guard Rohan before riding to the White City. After receiving the Red Arrow, Théoden agreed to gather a force to help defend the city of Minas Tirith against the impending assault by Mordor. Treebeard and his fellow Ents, remained as well in order to guard the now imprisoned Saruman and Wormtongue.Īfter this, Éomer rode with Théoden to Dunharrow, where the Rohirrim were mustering. When the Deeping Wall was breached, Éomer and Gimli were unable to reach the fortress and instead retreated up Helm's Deep to the Glittering Caves, where they held the Orcs at bay.Īfterwards he rode with Théoden, Aragorn, and Gandalf to Isengard, where they were greeted by Merry and Pippin, who were celebrating their recent victory. After this attack Éomer and Aragorn attempted to return through the door when Éomer was jumped upon by several Orcs who had laid low during the assault, though Éomer was saved by Gimli, who had secretly followed him out to the gate. Théoden named Éomer his heir prior to riding away from Edoras to the defense of the Hornburg.Īt the Battle of the Hornburg, Éomer was involved in was the defence of the gate where he, Aragorn, and a small band of men left through a postern door at the side of the Hornburg and led an assault on the forces attempting to break the gates of the Hornburg. Théoden freed Éomer, who offered his sword to Théoden in token of his loyalty. Under the poisonous advice of Gríma Wormtongue, he was imprisoned by Théoden, who had grown weak, aged, and suspicious under Saruman the White's influence.Īfter Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas reunited with Gandalf, the four hastened to Edoras, where Gandalf broke Saruman's influence over Théoden and restored him to health and vitality. ![]() Éomer returned to Edoras and reported meeting the Ranger and his friends and allowing them to go free, a violation of the King's law. ![]() Afterwards he met Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas on the plains of Rohan, and he lent them two horses, Arod and Hasufel. He never saw the Hobbits, as they had fled during the battle. His Éored hunted down the Uruk-hai that had taken Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took as they camped near Fangorn Forest, slaying them all. He was honored highly and trusted by the King, and was close with his cousin Théodred, son of Théoden who loved him like a brother. Éomer became the third Marshal of the Mark, and was a strong leader of Men. After they were orphaned Théoden adopted them as his own children. Éomund also had a daughter named Éowyn, Éomer's sister. Théodwyn died of grief shortly afterward. In TA 3002, when Éomer was eleven, Éomund was slain in battle with Orcs. Éomer, born in TA 2991, of the House of Eorl, was the son of Éomund, a descendant of Éofor, and of Théodwyn, sister of King Théoden.
