A military rank of the Rohirrim, signifying the commander of the armies of eastern Rohan. The title was created by the new King Éomer after the War of the Ring, and the first Rider to hold it was the King's lieutenant, Elfhelm.

Notes

1	It's not specifically stated that the Marshal would have been headquartered at Aldburg, but this was historically the main military post in the area, and indeed there were no other obvious alternatives within the East-mark.
