Rohan Trivia Question...
How many generations of the Rohirrim royal family were living during the reign of Aldor the Old?
If anyone knows, it would be very helpful. [Please put source(s).] Thanx! Oh, and sorry if this should be somewhere else (Middle Earth maybe?) Books seemed the most appropriate place for it.

During Aldor King's long reign, the future kings Fréa, Fréawine, Goldwine and (barely) Déor (his son, grandson, great-grandson and great-great-grandson, respectively) were around, so the answer is: four generations.

thank you much... excellent research, Lady of Ithilien! He was just curious... his brother asked him, and he didn't know.

wow. Amazed at the level of effort put into that question. Impressed, too.
I assume this is Glorfindel the excluded you're asking about?

GW is correct -- one would have to count Aldor's generation, too, so it would be five generations.

I believe it was because that was the burial place of Helm Hammerhand. Will wait for confirmation before posting another question if right.

What was the name of the chief of the Dunlendings who was slain in Edoras?

Was it Wulf? Or is he only in the card game?

It is indeed Wulf, but a different Wulf from the card game. Nonetheless the answer is correct: your turn, Helix!

How did the Rohirrim get the Gap of Rohan to live in? They did not originally live to the north of Gondor.

After a battle with the wainriders, they made an alliance with the stewards of Gondor and Cirion ceeded them the fields of Calenardhon.

Eomer was the Third Marshal of the Riddermark. Name one person who at any time was the First.
