But in the days of Léod, father of Eorl, they had grown to be a numerous people and were again somewhat straitened in the land of their home.
Eorl led his men in pursuit, and so great was the fear that went before horsemen of the North that the invaders of the Wold were also thrown into panic, and the Riders hunted them over the plains of Calenardhon.’
Thus Eorl became the first King of the Mark, and he chose for his dwelling a green hill before the feet of the White Mountains that were the south-wall of his land.

Rohan's history was one of conflict and war; with the Orcs of the White Mountains, the Dunlendings to the west, and ultimately with Saruman in Orthanc, whose lands bordered Rohan to the north.
When Eorl was granted the land of Rohan, his people became known as the Rohirrim, from the Elvish for 'People of the Horse-lords'.

 Kuu Loona - Eorl Appreciation Thread!
I've been thinking over all the wonderful work Eorl has done for our Guild and have come to the conclusion that the job of Builder is quite a thankless one.
First off I'd like to thank Eorl for a specific piece of work he did for me a while back now that made me realize this guild was something special.
Eorl had a sit-down with me quite a few times to get me up to speed.

 Celebrant Field
But after Eorl became king there it was always called Rohan, which in the tongue of Gondor means “land of the horse:” and the Éothéod were called the Rohirrim (“the horse-lords”).
Eorl the Young -- wise for his twenty-and-five years -- had felt that to refuse aid to his kinsfolk in Gondor would be very short-sighted: since in the future after destroying the southern kingdom, Sauron would turn his wrath upon the north, and then the Éothéod would stand alone without hope.
The éored of Eorl the Young took its sweet time getting onto the table (poor die rolls by yours truly, the GM) and had to use up most of its charge moves getting to the stricken Gondor square as quickly as possible.

 A Brief History of Anglo-Saxon England
At the end of his reign the kingdom was dominated by three eorls - an Englishman of the old aristocracy, Leofric of Mercia; an English newcomer, Godwin of Wessex, married to a Dane; and a Dane, Siward of Northumbria, married to an Englishwoman.
In the north Eorl Siward was strong and held the Scots at bay.
Edward obviously resented his dependence upon Godwin and in 1051 the Eorl and his family were deprived of their titles and exiled, but the king had over-reached himself.

The relationship of loyalty between the Germanic eorl and his thanes was first described by the Roman historian, Tacitus (55-117 CE), in one of his major works, Germania, dealing with the German tribes.
The eorl in turn shared the booty of battle with his thanes equally and was known as a "giver of rings." The eorl fought for victory; thanes fought for their eorl.
The obligation of every member of the group was to bear responsibility for any wrongs inflicted on the eorl or other members of the comitatus band.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Edoras
Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings tells us that Eorl '...chose for his dwelling a green hill before the feet of the White Mountains that were the south-wall of his land.' It seems logical to assume that this describes the foundation of Edoras.
According to this version, it was Eorl's son Brego, not Eorl himself, who established the courts at Edoras.
One solution, though not an entirely happy one, is to assume that Eorl's 'green hill' was not in fact the site of Edoras, but the location where his house at Aldburg would be built, and that Edoras was founded by his son some decades later.
