  Kingdom of Rhovanion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhovanion at this time referred only to the region he and his people dwelt, a strip of land east of Greenwood the Great and south of Dale and Esgaroth.
The Men of Rhovanion fought with Gondor against the Easterlings of Rhûn, who threathened their lands, and when these were defeated by the Gondorian King Turambar in circa 550 Rhovanion became an ally of Gondor.
Gondor retreated its borders to the Anduin, and ceded all the lands east of Anduin to Rhovanion.

 Rhovanion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Properly speaking Rhovanion was the name of a small region east of Greenwood, which later was the Kingdom of Rhovanion, but the name was used for all of Wilderland by the late Third Age.
The great battlefield (or Dagorlad) of the Last alliance of Elves and Men against the host of Sauron lay in the south of Rhovanion, and in the Gladden Fields of the Great River the King of Gondor and Arnor, Isildur son of Elendil was killed.
In the later Third Age, Rhovanion was the site of many wars, when the Wainriders came from the east and assailed the people of Rhovanion until all their kingdoms were destroyed, and later when Sauron returned as the Necromancer he took residence at Dol Guldur in the south of Greenwood.

 Vidumavi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She is the daughter of Vidugavia, the King of Rhovanion.
She married the Gondorian King Valacar when he was on a diplomatic mission in Rhovanion.
She was, as the Dúnedain of Gondor feared, shortlived (dying in 1344 of the Third Age, before Valacar became king), but she succeeded in bearing Valacar a son, the future King Eldacar.

Rhovanion offers purpose built bed and breakfast accommodation in a pleasant rural setting in a quiet lane alongside a pretty "burn" and has 2 double and a twin room available.
Rhovanion is situated just 10 minutes walk from Coldingham bay and its popular sandy beach, some 15 minutes from the tiny picturesque harbour of St Abbs, with its spectacular cliffs, which is in the centre of the Special Marine Reserve Area, whose crystal-clear waters make it a very popular area for divers.
Walkers will be attracted to the St Abbs nature reserve which is one of the many walks available in the area, and Rhovanion will provide a vehicle back-up service to take walkers to either the start or finish of walks to avoid the necessity of always planning circular walks.

Rhovanion at least was a kingdom for a while, though by the time of the Lord of the Rings it no longer existed.
I seem to recall that there was a 'king' of Rhovanion, whose daughter married a prince of Gondor when he was living there in exile.
Of course, said king could merely be the chieftain of one of the many tribes in Rhovanion as suggested by Folcwine.

 Conscientious Objector: Speculations on Middle Earth: Rhovanion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
If, for instance, Rhovanion were settled by nomads (Easterlings, basically) who had moved into a region that required cultivation for them to survive, then we can expect that Rhovanion society would have retained much of its emphasis on the prestige of the mounted warrior.
Alternately, if Rhovanion were settled by agriculturalists who only later developed a profitable trade in horses, then we can expect that society would still have retained a strong respect for and basis in the land, with the horse-trading elite being a relatively late addition to which older hierarchies would have had to adjust.
Evidence about Rhovanion is so scant that it's hardly worth taking this as more than a bit of trivia, but it does suggest that significant power and a "landed" interest were not considered an odd combination in Rhovanion, and that suggests the picture of agriculturalists who turned into horse breeders.
