Men of the Éothéod

A nation of Northmen ruled by the descendants of Frumgar in the north of Middle-earth. Their last lord Eorl the Young led them south to the land of Calenardhon, renamed Rohan, where they became known as the Rohirrim.


Notes

1

In Old English, éo represents a diphthong, a single vowel sound combining ay with a short o as in 'dot' or 'cloth'. So éo is pronounced somewhat like 'ayo', but as a single sound.
