Lord of HarrowdaleChieftain of the valley of the SnowbournEven after Rohan was founded, Dunlendings remained in many hidden places throughout the land. One of these was Harrowdale, the narrow valley of the river Snowbourn that cut through the White Mountains south of Edoras. Only in the time of Aldor the Old, some hundred years after the kingdom's foundation, were the last of Harrowdale's Dunlendings cleared from the valley. Once the Dunlendings had been forced out, the valley was settled by the Rohirrim, and the ancient hold of Dunharrow was established as a refuge in the Mountains. The title of Lord of Harrowdale presumably dates back to these times, and it remained in place at least until the War of the Ring. The Lord during that War was Dúnhere, the nephew of Erkenbrand, who rode with King Théoden to the Battle of the Pelennor, but never returned to Harrowdale. Notes
