  Eorl - BookwormSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Eorl, son of Léod, was the ruler of the Northmen tribe of the Éothéod, who dwelt between the Langwell and Greylin rivers.
Eorl dwelt at Aldburg in eastern Rohan, and ruled as King from 2510 until 2545, when, at the age of sixty years, he was slain in battle against the Easterlings in the Wold.
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.

Eorl found that he was tired, the excitement of celebration wearing off, and he walked to the dark bed, shedding his formal outer attire and boots as he went.
Eorl bowed stiffly; serving a servant of the enemy, no matter for what ulterior purpose was still an affront to his deeply ingrained sense of loyalty and honesty.
Eorl, sensing a losing interest, quickly added, “Well, ever since I was…erm…since…er…my family were killed by the…Gondorian barbarians, I have greatly…er…admired the man, well, wraith, who destroyed their mighty North Kingdom.” “Well, yes, it was rather a good show, wasn’t it?” the Witch King really quite enjoyed this bit of flattery.
