'''Vidumavi''' (died {{TA|1344}})<ref name="PMA">{{PM|Ai}}</ref>, also known as '''Galadwen''', was the daughter of [[Vidugavia]], the [[King of Rhovanion]].<ref name="gondor">{{App|Gondor}}</ref>

==History==
Vidumavi married [[Valacar]], the son of [[Minalcar]], the [[King of Gondor]]. She had a child, [[Vinitharya]], later to be known as King [[Eldacar (King of Gondor)|Eldacar]]. Vidumavi met Valacar in her homeland of [[Rhovanion]]. He was sent there by his father who sought to attach the Northmen closer to [[Gondor]] than they already were. Valacar and Vidumavi fell in love, and they were wed. They had a son, [[Vinitharya]], in [[Third Age]] {{TA|1255|n}}. In {{TA|1260|n}} Vidumavi was brought by her husband to Gondor from Rhovanion where she was welcomed for her fairness and nobleness.
<ref name="gondor"/>
She was, as the [[Dúnedain]] of Gondor feared, short-lived (dying in 1344 of the [[Third Age]],<ref name="PMA"/> before Valacar became king), though she was very old for one of her own people. She bore Valacar a son, the future King [[Eldacar (King of Gondor)|Eldacar]]. Because of Eldacar's short-lived, non-Dúnadan mother, many Gondorians were unwilling to accept him as king, leading to the disastrous [[Kin-strife]].<ref name="gondor"/>

'''Tinfang''', whom the children call '''[[Tinfang Warble]]''' is a creature mentioned in ''[[The Book of Lost Tales]]'' and in the poem ''[[Tinfang Warble (poem)|Tinfang Warble]]''

[[Vairë (wife of Lindo)|Vairë]] tells to [[Eriol]] about Tinfang Warble, a [[spirit]] who is half [[fay]] of [[Palúrien]] and half [[Elf]] ([[Gnome]] or [[Solosimpi]]). He was a flautist whose fluting had an enchantment, and the stars twinkled according to his notes. Not even the [[Solosimpi]] could rival his fluting.

He led the Elves forth with his piping, and could be heard in the [[Great Lands]] and sometimes also in [[Alalminórë]]. Eriol also heard him.<ref>{{LT1|IV}}, p. 94 ff.</ref>

== Other versions of the Legendarium ==
'''Tinfang Gelion''' is mentioned in the ''[[Lay of Leithian]]'' as being one of the greatest of the minstrels of the [[Elves]], beside [[Maglor]] and next to [[Daeron]].<ref>{{LB|C3}}, p. 174</ref>

{{quote|Tinfang Gelion who still the [[moon]] enchants on summer nights of June and kindles the pale firstling star...|[[Lay of Leithian Canto III]]}}

==Etymology==
The meaning of ''Tinfang'' is "star-beard" (from ''[[tinu]]'' "spark, little star" + ''[[fang]]'' "beard"; found in [[The Etymologies]] of ''[[The Lost Road]]'').{{fact}} He apparently was one of those few elves who grew beards during the first age of their life, like [[Mahtan]].{{fact}}

''[[Gelion]]'' can also be found in several other compounds.

== Inspiration ==
His name probably comes from an earlier poem Tolkien penned named ''[[Tinfang Warble]]'', about a fairy-bird.{{fact}}

'''Saelon''' was one of the main characters in ''[[The New Shadow]]'', the abandoned sequel to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.

== History ==
Saelon was caught by [[Borlas]] as a kid when he was stealing an apple in Borlas' garden. Borlas' anger and description of Saelon's behaviour as doing ''orc's work'' struck in to Saelon's heart - he felt deeply aggrieved and held this as a deep grudge.

Some years later, Borlas and Saelon sat in the garden across from [[Minas Tirith]]. After Borlas described the [[Dark Tree]], it is Saelon who later mentions that there were men who have grown ''under the shadow'' in recent times and whispered the name [[Herumor (The New Shadow)|Herumor]], the possible leader of a rebellious faction in Gondor, to Borlas.<ref>{{PM|Shadow}}</ref>

'''Tilion''' ([[Quenya|Q]], pron. {{IPA|[ˈtili.on]}}) was a [[Maiar|Maia]] who guided the [[Moon]].

==History==
In the days of the trees in [[Valinor]], Tilion had been a hunter from the company of [[Oromë]]. Though he often rode with Oromë, he spent much of his free time in [[Lórien (Valinor)|Lórien]], under the light of [[Telperion]]. Tilion loved silver (he even used a silver bow), and he begged to be given the care of the [[Moon]]. The [[Valar]] gave him the task. He was said to be less mighty than [[Arien]], the Maia chosen to guide the [[Sun]].

Tilion was reckless at times, and did not always follow the correct path, causing the Moon to be at times in the sky at the same time as the Sun, or not appear at all.

He was also drawn by the splendour of Arien, and sought to come near her, though "the flame of Anar scorched him, and the island of the Moon was darkened".

[[Morgoth]], who hated the new lights, sent [[spirits of shadows]] against Tilion, but Tilion vanquished them in a strife in [[Ilmen]].<ref>{{S|Sun}}</ref>

Hammond]], [[Christina Scull]], ''[[The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion]]'', pp. 536-7</ref>

==History==
According to folklore, Tarlang belonged to a group of giants who in "ancient days" were building the [[White Mountains]] in order to prevent [[Men]] from entering the giants' land close by the [[Beleriand|Sea]]. While carrying a heavy load of rocks, Tarlang stumbled and fell on his face, fatally breaking his neck. His corpse was used by the other giants to finish the wall: his remants formed the pass [[Tarlang's Neck]] (from the break in his neck), [[Dol Tarlang]] (consisting of his head), and [[Cûl Veleg]] and [[Cûl Bîn]] (remnants of his load of rocks).<ref name=RC/>

==Etymology==

The name ''Tarlang'' is glossed as "stiff neck", consisting of ''[[tarch]]'' ("stiff, tough") + ''[[lang]]'' ("neck").<ref name=RC/><ref name=DW>{{webcite|author=[[Didier Willis]]|articleurl=http://www.jrrvf.com/hisweloke/sindar/online/english.html|articlename=Hiswelókë's Sindarin Dictionary|dated=|website=[http://www.jrrvf.com/haut.shtml Jrrvf.com]|accessed=20 February 2013}}</ref>

'''Old Man Willow''' was a [[willows|willow]] in the [[Old Forest]] standing near [[Withywindle]].
==History==
He might have been an [[Ents|Ent]] who had become tree-like, or possibly a [[Huorns|Huorn]], as the Old Forest was originally part of the same primordial forest as [[Fangorn Forest|Fangorn]].

The '''Great Willow''' was evil-hearted and from it much of the Forest's hatred of walking things came.<ref name="OMW">{{FR|I6}}</ref>. Despite his power, [[Tom Bombadil]], who called him '''Old grey Willow-man''', had power over him, and checked the evil as much as he could, or was willing.

On [[26 September]] {{TA|3018}}<ref>{{App|Great}}</ref> Old Man Willow cast a spell on the hobbits ([[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]], [[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]], Merry and Pippin ), causing them to feel sleepy. Merry and Pippin leaned against the trunk and fell asleep, while Frodo sat on a root to dangle his feet in the water, before also falling asleep. The tree trapped Merry and Pippin in cracks in the trunk, and tipped Frodo into the stream.

Sam managed to fight off the spell and rescued Frodo from the stream. Together they attempted to save Merry and Pippin by lighting a fire at the tree's base, but this only served to infuriate Old Man Willow, who threatened to kill the trapped hobbits. They were saved by the timely arrival of Tom Bombadil who knew "the tune for him".<ref name="OMW"/>

In the poem ''[[The Adventures of Tom Bombadil]]'', Old Man Willow sings Tom Bombadil to sleep and traps him in a crack. He then speaks to Tom, chastising him for spying on him and tickling him with his feather. Tom orders Old Man Willow to release him, which he does immediately.<ref>{{AB|Tom}}</ref>

==Other Versions of the Legendarium==
In ''[[The Return of the Shadow]]'', in the early text for ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', the incident with Old Man Willow has Bingo (who would later become Frodo) and Odo (who would become Pippin) laying against the tree. Frodo (who becomes Sam) is the one pushed into the river while Marmaduke (later Merry) is the one who resists the spell.<ref>{{RS|Forest}}</ref>

Later in Tom Bombadil's house Tom relates the lore concerning Old Man Willow. He is described as a "grey thirsty earth-bound spirit" that had "become imprisoned in the greatest Willow of the Forest".<ref>{{RS|Tom}}</ref>

==Portrayals in adaptations==
'''2002: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]'':'''
:Although he did not appear in the 2001 [[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring|movie adaptation]], a very similar episode with [[Hobbits]] being swallowed by a tree was included in the [[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (extended edition)|extended edition]], where Merry and Pippin are swallowed by a Huorn in [[Fangorn Forest]], to be saved by [[Treebeard]].

<blockquote>''"Ar-Pharazôn the Golden was the proudest and most powerful of all the Kings, and no less than the kingship of the world was his desire."'' —''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', [[Appendix A]]</blockquote>

'''Ar-[[Ar-Pharazôn|Pharazôn]] the Golden''' was the twenty-fifth and last [[King of Númenor|King]] of [[Númenor]].<ref>{{UT|Kings}}</ref> He was the son of [[Gimilkhâd]], who was the younger brother of the twenty-fourth King, [[Tar-Palantir]]. Ar-Pharazôn's willful rule, and his great pride, led directly to the [[Bent World|world-changing]] [[Downfall of Númenor]] and the founding of the [[realms in exile]] of [[Arnor]] and [[Gondor]].<ref name="Akallabeth">{{S|Akallabeth}}</ref>

==History==
In his youth, Pharazôn and [[Amandil]], the [[Lords of Andúnië|Lord of Andúnië]] and later the leader of the [[Faithful]] Númenóreans, were dear friends. After some time, Pharazôn departed from Númenor to participate in the wars in [[Middle-earth]] that the [[King's Men]] were waging against [[Sauron]]. While in Middle-earth, he became a great captain and commander of the Númenórean armies. Pharazôn did not return to Númenor until a few years before the death of Tar-Palantir, when he heard of his own father's early death. During his time there, Pharazôn was generous with the wealth he had acquired in Middle-earth, and the hearts of the people were turned toward him. He remained on the island until Tar-Palantir died. At that time, Pharazôn took the King's daughter [[Tar-Míriel|Míriel]] as his wife, much against her will, and against the laws of Númenor which prohibited first cousins from marrying. Pharazôn then changed her name to Ar-Zimraphel.<ref name="Akallabeth"/> Thus he usurped the throne and, taking the [[Sceptre]] into his own hand, proclaimed himself King Ar-Pharazôn in {{SA|3255}}.<ref name="SA">{{App|SA}}</ref>

===King of Númenor===
Soon after Ar-Pharazôn's unlawful ascent to power, he heard news that Sauron had been assailing the Númenórean settlements in Middle-earth since his return to the island. His captains explained to him that the fallen [[Maia]] wished to drive the Númenóreans back to the [[Belegaer|Sea]] whence they had come, and declare himself King of Men. They also told Ar-Pharazôn that Sauron wished to destroy Númenor itself, if possible.

====Ar-Pharazôn Humbles Sauron====
Ar-Pharazôn became very angry upon hearing this news, and decided that he himself would claim the title of King of Men instead, and make Sauron his servant. To accomplish this end, he spent five years preparing a great force.<ref name="Akallabeth"/> In {{SA|3261|n}} he launched the Númenórean fleet and landed at the [[Umbar|Haven of Umbar]].<ref name="SA"/> From there, Ar-Pharazôn and his army marched north to [[Mordor]]. Their splendor and might was so great that Sauron's own servants deserted him. Therefore, since he perceived that he could not defeat the Númenóreans through strength of arms, Sauron changed into his fair form and humbled himself before Ar-Pharazôn. The King stripped Sauron of his titles and decreed that he would be taken as a hostage to Númenor, to keep his servants from harassing the Númenóreans in Middle-earth.

Sauron acted as if this decision dismayed him, but it actually furthered his plans to destroy Ar-Pharazôn and the Númenóreans in retaliation for this humiliation. Sauron thus allowed himself to be brought to Númenor by Ar-Pharazôn's army, but as soon as he set foot on the island he began corrupting the minds of the Númenóreans, beginning with their proud King. Sauron flattered Ar-Pharazôn and used his knowledge to help the King gain anything he desired. Ar-Pharazôn responded to this flattery and made Sauron his chief advisor three years after his coming to Númenor.<ref name="Akallabeth"/>

====Sauron's Teachings====
Sauron taught the people of Númenor many things, and in most of his speeches he spoke against the [[Valar]], whom most Númenóreans already feared and disliked. Eventually, however, the Maia's teachings began to focus more upon [[Darkness (concept)|Darkness]]. He told his listeners that "Darkness alone is worshipful, and the Lord thereof may yet make other worlds to be gifts to those that serve him, so that the increase of their power shall find no end." These words reached the ears of Ar-Pharazôn, and he spoke to Sauron in secret in order to learn more about the Lord of Darkness. Sauron told the King that this Lord was [[Morgoth|Melkor]], and that [[Ilúvatar|Eru Ilúvatar]] was only a lie devised by the Valar to keep [[Men]] from rebelling against them. The Maia thus himself lied to Ar-Pharazôn, and said that by serving Melkor, the "Giver of Freedom", the King would escape from these untruths of the Valar, and become stronger than them.

At this time Ar-Pharazôn began to worship the Darkness and Melkor its Lord. He practiced this new religion in secret at first, but soon displayed it openly, and "his people for the most part followed him". The King made ascending the [[Meneltarma]] (which the worshipers of Ilúvatar had formerly done, in order to make offerings on its summit) a crime punishable by death. Sauron then advised Ar-Pharazôn to destroy [[Nimloth of Númenor|Nimloth]], the White Tree of Númenor, which was the last symbol of the Númenóreans' ancient friendship with the Valar and the [[Elves]]. Ar-Pharazôn was reluctant to do this, because he had heard of Tar-Palantir's prophecy that the Line of Kings would end when the Tree perished.<ref name="Akallabeth"/>

====Years of Tyranny====
However, when a disguised man (actually [[Isildur]]) stole a fruit from Nimloth upon hearing Sauron's advice to the King, Ar-Pharazôn assented to the Tree's destruction. It was also at this time that Ar-Pharazôn dismissed his erstwhile friend Amandil from his [[Council of the Sceptre|Council]], though the King and his supporters did not otherwise harm Amandil or his family. After the White Tree was felled, Sauron had it burned in a mighty [[Temple]] that the Númenóreans had built in [[Armenelos]] on his orders. The King and his followers then used this Temple for the worship of Melkor. They captured members of the Faithful and sacrificed them in the fires of the altar, in the hope that Melkor would release them from [[Gift of Men|Death]]. The Númenóreans did the same to the Men of Middle-earth who lived near their settlements, and thus Ar-Pharazôn became the greatest tyrant that the world had seen since [[Morgoth]], "though in truth Sauron ruled all from behind the throne".

But Ar-Pharazôn and the Númenóreans did not escape death by this means, and eventually the King grew old and was in great fear of the end of his life and the "going out into the Darkness that he had worshiped". Ar-Pharazôn became wrathful and desperate, and at last Sauron gave the King his final advice. The Maia told Ar-Pharazôn that by warring against the Valar and conquering [[Valinor]], their land in [[Aman|the West]], he could gain everlasting life.<ref name="Akallabeth"/> Ar-Pharazôn feared to wage such a war, but his desperation prompted him to begin building a [[Great Armament]] in {{SA|3310|n}} to attack Valinor.<ref name="SA"/>

[[Image:Ted Nasmith - The Eagles of Manwë.jpg|right|thumb|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''The Eagles of Manwë'']]
While this Armament was being constructed, the Valar sent warnings to the Númenóreans in the form of terrible thunderstorms and clouds shaped like [[Eagles]], and the ground began to groan and shake. But these signals only caused the King and his people to harden their hearts yet more, and Ar-Pharazôn (prompted by Sauron) proclaimed, "The [[Valar|Lords of the West]] have plotted against us. They strike first. The next blow shall be ours!"<ref name="Akallabeth"/>

====War against the Valar====
[[File:John Howe - The Fleet of Ar-Pharazon.jpg|thumb|left|180px|[[John Howe]] - ''Fleet of Ar-Pharazôn'']]
Nine years after the preparations for war began, the Great Armament was completed. Ar-Pharazôn journeyed to the west of Númenor where the fleet was anchored, and boarded his mighty ship [[Alcarondas]]. He sat upon his throne in full armor and signaled for the raising of the anchors. The fleet left Númenor just before sundown, and passed into the forbidden seas of the West.

Because no one from the Great Armament ever returned to mortal lands, Ar-Pharazôn's fate remains uncertain. It is said in the ''[[Akallabêth]]'' that the fleet passed [[Tol Eressëa]] and anchored near the coast of Valinor. Upon seeing the splendor of [[Taniquetil]], Ar-Pharazôn became afraid and nearly gave the order to retreat. In the end, however, his pride caused him to go ashore, and a great part of his army followed him. Ar-Pharazôn led his troops to the Elven city of [[Tirion]], and they set up an encampment around it. Then the King proclaimed that the land of the Valar was his, if none would challenge him for it.

At this time, the Valar called upon Eru for aid, and relinquished their authority over [[Arda]]. Eru broke the world and made it round, so that Men could never again sail to Valinor. In this catastrophe, Ar-Pharazôn's fleet was pulled into the chasm that opened between the [[Blessed Realm]] and mortal lands, and Númenor sank beneath the Sea. Ar-Pharazôn himself (along with the soldiers that had followed him to Valinor) is said to have been buried "under falling hills," and lies in the [[Caves of the Forgotten]] "until the [[Final Battle|Last Battle]] and the Day of Doom".<ref name="Akallabeth"/>

==Legacy==
Though Ar-Pharazôn was the last King of Númenor, the Line of [[Elros]] survived through [[Elendil]] the son of Amandil, and his two sons, [[Isildur]] and [[Anárion]]. They managed to escape the [[Downfall of Númenor]] that Ar-Pharazôn's actions had caused, and later created the kingdoms of [[Arnor]] and [[Gondor]] in [[Middle-earth]].

Sometime before his death at the end of the [[Second Age]], Elendil wrote down some of the history of Númenor, culminating in the tale of its destruction. Much of this document was focused on the effects of the reign of Ar-Pharazôn and Sauron's teachings to the Númenóreans. Elendil's work was called the ''[[Akallabêth]]'', and its retelling of Ar-Pharazôn's life was one of the only parts of Númenor's history that remained widely known after the Downfall.<ref>{{UT|Kings}}, Note 16</ref>

Many years after the Downfall, the [[Kings of Gondor]] erected a great pillar at Umbar as a commemoration of Ar-Pharazôn. Even though Elendil's people suffered greatly because of the evil that Sauron caused in Númenor as a result of Ar-Pharazôn's deeds, his descendants still wished to honor the King and his army for the humbling of Sauron. When Sauron retook Umbar from the Gondorians, he in turn had this monument to his defeat destroyed.<ref>{{App|Gondor}}</ref>

==Etymology==
''Pharazôn'' means "Golden" in [[Adûnaic]], and is derived from the word ''[[pharaz]]'', 'gold'.<ref>{{App|Consonants}}</ref><ref>{{SD|Nouns}}, p. 426</ref>

==Names==

Had Ar-Pharazôn taken a [[Quenya]] name, he would have ruled as '''''Tar-Calion'''''. This title does not appear to be a direct translation of his Adûnaic name, since it means "Son of Light" (from ''[[cala]]'' 'light', and ''[[-ion]]'', the masculine patronymic). Like all the other Kings of Númenor who took their royal names in Adûnaic, Pharazôn added the prefix ''[[Ar | ar]]'' ('high', 'King') to his name when he seized the Sceptre.{{fact}}

In the [[The Etymologies|''Etymologies'']], [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] noted the name '''''Tar-kulu''''' (in the entry for [[Sundocarme|root]] [[KUL]]), which editors [[Carl F. Hostetter]] and [[Patrick H. Wynne]] suggest could be a formerly unattested name of Ar-Pharazôn.<ref>{{VT|45a}}, p. 24</ref>

==Other Versions of the Legendarium==
In earlier versions of the ''Akallabêth'', Ar-Pharazôn summoned Sauron to Númenor instead of taking an army to Middle-earth and humbling him. The elements of Morgoth-worship and human sacrifice were not originally parts of his rule, either; in the first stories of the Downfall, Ar-Pharazôn merely built the Temple (on top of the Meneltarma, however) for future use and allowed Sauron to watch the people from it.

Alternate stories of Ar-Pharazôn's life written by Tolkien include a version in which Míriel was actually attracted to him, and their marriage was consensual. She gave him most of her power voluntarily. This remarkable textual development existed even in some of the latest revisions of the ''Akallabêth''.<ref>{{PM|Akallabeth}}</ref>

}}'''Eldarion''' ([[Quenya|Q]], pron. {{IPA|[elˈdari.on]}}) was the son of [[Arwen]] and [[Aragorn|Elessar]]. His birth marked the reunion of the lines of [[Eärendil]]'s sons [[Elros]] (through Aragorn) and [[Elrond]] (through Arwen) separated for millennia. Also, he represented (through [[Galadriel]]) the union of the [[Edain|Three Houses of the Edain]] with the ancient [[House of Finarfin]].

==History==
Eldarion became the second King of the [[Reunited Kingdom]] after the death of his father Elessar in {{FoA|120}}. He was also recorded to have several sisters.<ref>{{App|Tale}}</ref>

A hundred-and-five years after the fall of the [[Barad-dûr|Dark Tower]], he encountered a renewal of [[Morgoth]]-worship during his reign.<ref>{{PM|Shadow}}</ref>

==Etymology==
His name in [[Quenya]] means "Scion of the [[Eldar]]". In [[Letter 338]], [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] spelled this name '''Eldaron''', this is probably a typographic error.<ref>{{L|338}}</ref>

'''Imrazôr''' was a [[Gondorians|Gondorian]] [[Prince]] of [[Belfalas]] at the end of the second millennium of the [[Third Age]]. He was said to have wedded an [[Elves|Elf-maid]] named [[Mithrellas]], a wandering companion of [[Nimrodel]]. His son [[Galador]] was the first [[Prince of Dol Amroth]].<ref>{{UT|Galadriel}}, ''Amroth and Nimrodel''</ref>
==Etymology==
The meaning of the name is not known, however it includes [[Adûnaic]] ''[[zôr]]'' which means "flame" or "foam".

The first element ''imra'' (perhaps from *''imar'') is not translated but it also appears in the name [[Imrahil]] and perhaps [[Imâr]].

In an early manuscript Imrazôr and not his son was numbered as the first Prince of Dol Amroth.<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}, ''The Line of Dol Amroth'', p. 221-222</ref>
==Note==
Nowhere is it explained why a man living in [[Gondor]] late in the Third Age would have the epithet of "[[The Númenórean]]".

'''Théodred''' ({{TA|2978}}-{{TA|3019|n}}) was the only son and heir of King [[Théoden]] of [[Rohan]] who died in battle at the [[Fords of Isen]] during the [[War of the Ring]].

==History==
Théodred was born to King [[Théoden]] and [[Elfhild]], who died in childbirth. Because of his state as prince of Rohan, Théodred also held the title of [[Second Marshal of the Riddermark]].

While his father's health began to fail and [[Gríma]] gained more influence, Gríma considered Théodred and [[Éomer]] his chief opponents. He tried to bring the two cousins into discredit with Théoden, but their steadfast loyalty even in his apparent dotage. Gríma therefore tried to play them one against the other in the mind of Théoden, representing Éomer as ever eager to increase his authority.

Meanwhile [[Saruman]] planned to have the Prince killed. He sent forces against Rohan on [[February 25]], {{TA|3019}} with explicit orders to kill the Second Marshall at all costs.

Théodred's was warned by his scouts of a mustering of troops at the [[Gate of Isengard]] and he reinforced the approaches. He passed over the [[Isen]] with the main strength of his cavalry to overthrow Saruman's apparent army before it was fully prepared. He scattered the vanguard, but then discovered the main host prepared for assault and ordered a retreat while the rearguard under [[Grimbold]] had to turn and drive back their pursuers.

Retreating, he appointed Grimbold in command of the western bank garrison while himself attempted to man the eyot in the midst of the river. Then a van came and with unexpected speed soon took control of the eastern end of the fords; the fiercest of Saruman's warriors and [[Orc-men]] abandoned the rest of the battle and directed their full might around the Prince. As Grimbold came to his defense, Théodred was hewn down by a great orc-man, whom Grimbold slew.

[[Elfhelm]] arrived to his support and they lifted the body. Théodred still breathed, only long enough to speak his last words.<ref>{{UT|Isen}}</ref> The news of Théodred's death caused [[Erkenbrand]] of [[Westfold]] to assume command of the [[West-mark]]. With no siblings, this made his cousin, [[Éomer]], heir to the throne of Rohan.
== Etymology ==
Théodred's name is probably taken from the [[Old English|Anglo-Saxon]] words ''þēod'' ("folk", "people", "nation") and ''rǣd'' ("counsel").<ref>{{HM|RC}}, p. 403</ref>

== Portrayal in Adaptations ==
'''[[2002]]: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]'':'''
:Théodred is portrayed younger than he was in the book. His death is a major event early in the movie, whereas, in the book, it has all happened by the time the [[Three Hunters]] come to Rohan. He is brought heavily wounded albeit barely alive to Edoras and tended by [[Éowyn]] before expiring. His burial is shown in the [[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (extended edition)|extended edition]]. Théodred was played by [[Paris Howe Strewe]].

[[File:The Lord of the Rings Online - Théodred.png|200px|thumb]]
'''[[2011]]: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online: Rise of Isengard]]'':'''
:Théodred appears in [[Rise of Isengard]] and [[The Prince of Rohan]], the fourth and fifth book of [[Allies of the King]].
