Theoden in Peter Jackson's trilogy.Depicted by Bernard Hill
Theoden is the second-to-last known king of Rohan, coming of the second royal line.
Lore
Theoden was the seventeenth king of Rohan, land of the Horse Lords. Born in Gondor, Theoden lived there with his family until his father, Thengel, became King of Rohan. After taking his father's crown, Theoden began to become increasingly withdrawn and followed the advice of Grima Wormtongue, councilor to the king and spy for Saruman. Theoden began to unnaturally age and his mind soon became warped and twisted with the soft words spoken by Wormtongue. Aid soon came when Gandalf the White and the remaining members of the Fellowship arrived in Rohan seeking help. Freed by Gandalf from the spells of Saruman, Theoden now fights to eradicate any trace of the wizard and his master's influence from the land.
