Éowyn stabbed her sword through the Witch-king's head, killing him, and thus fulfilling Glorfindel's prophecy a thousand years earlier at the Battle of Fornost that "not by the hand of man" would the Witch-king fall.

The Witch-king shattered her shield with a blow of his mace, breaking her arm, but stumbled when Merry stabbed his leg from behind with a Barrow-blade of Westernesse make. In a rage, the Witch-king attacked her, but she cleaved the head off his Fell Beast. Begone if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him!". In answer, she removed her helmet, exposing her long blond hair, and declared, " No living man am I! You look upon a woman! Éowyn I am, Éomund's daughter. As Théoden lay mortally wounded, she challenged the Witch-King, who boasted that "no living man may hinder me". Įowyn fighting the Witch King, by moonxelsĭuring the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, she fought in Théoden's escort when he and his company were attacked by the Witch-king of Angmar, lord of the Nazgûl, she and Merry were the only riders who did not flee. Because Éowyn weighed less than a man of similar height, Windfola was able to bear both her and Merry. She took Meriadoc Brandybuck along because he likewise wanted to follow his friends to battle, but had been refused by Théoden. In bitterness, she disguised herself as a man, under the alias Dernhelm, and rode to Minas Tirith on her horse Windfola. When Denethor II urgently called for Théoden's aid against Mordor, Éowyn again, begged to be allowed to ride to battle, but Théoden refused. When Aragorn passed through Dunharrow to take the Paths of the Dead she confessed her growing feelings for him, but already betrothed, he reluctantly refused her.

Éowyn reluctantly obeyed the King's orders to lead the people of Edoras to shelter in the White Mountains, while Aragorn, Théoden, and the rest of the men confronted Saruman's army at the Battle of the Hornburg. Háma recommended Éowyn, who, though a woman, was "fearless" and "all love her". Since Théoden planned to ride to battle himself, he asked his doorwarden Háma, to suggest a leader for the people in his absence. When Gandalf restored the King, he prepared to defend Rohan against Isengard. Prior to the War of the Ring, Éowyn was forced to stay in Meduseld and care for her declining uncle for several years, as he was weakened by the influence of Saruman and Gríma Wormtongue. Afterwards, Théoden took Éomer and Éowyn in his household and raised them as his children. Her father was slain and her mother died of illness in TA 3002. Like her brother Éomer, she was related to King Théoden through their mother, the King's sister. Éowyn was the second child of Éomund and Théodwyn.
