- There were two battles between Saruman and Rohan during the War of the Ring:
- The First Battle of the Fords of Isen was on 25 February T.A. 3019. Its main objective seems to have been to kill Prince Théodred (in which Saruman succeeded).
- The Second Battle of the Fords of Isen was on 2 March where Saruman finally won passage over the river, beating a heavily outnumbered army of Rohirrim under Grimbold and Elfhelm.
- A battle also happened in T.A. 2758 between Dunlendings under Wulf and Rohirrim under Helm. Wulf was successful in invading Rohan.
