Marhari (died T.A. 1856) was a Northman descended from the Kingdom of Rhovanion and a member of the royal house. His distant ancestor was King Vidugavia.[1]
In T.A. 1851, a tribe of Easterlings called the Wainriders began invading from the East.[2] Marhari led the soldiers of Rhovanion, together with the armies of Gondor under King Narmacil II, against the invaders at the Battle of the Plains in 1856. The battle was a disaster, as Narmacil was killed[2] and Marhari fell in his rearguard. The Wainriders then overran Rhovanion and enslaved its people.[3]
Marhari's son Marhwini led a group of refugees west to the Vales of Anduin. They would become the Éothéod, the ancestors of the mighty Riders of Rohan.[3]
