Sorry! Was out walking in the glades of Ithilien.

OK, as long as we're in that section of the Rohirrim's world, who was Dúnhere, and what happened to him?

Well, yes, it's true that
Quote:
...in the Mounds of Mundburg under mould they [including Dúnhere] lie
with their league-fellows, lords of Gondor...
However, Dúnhere was also a lord in Rohan as well as a Rider and important enough to dine with Théoden King, so overall I've got to say, nope, that's not the answer.

Wow, Millane! That's more than I knew. Lord of Harrowdale would have done it (hence the hint about being in that section of Rohan after the Paths of the Dead had been brought up). Was that all in The Lord of the Rings? Will have to go through it again.

Anyway, go ahead....

Well, then, it's time for a trip to the libary -- was planning to pick up Letters there, too.

The Oath of Eorl was first sworn to the Steward Cirion by Eorl the Young after the victory of the Field of Celebrant. It was of friendship at need or at the call of the Lords of Gondor, and in exchange Cirion gave the Riders the land between the Anduin and the Isen rivers.

It's said that King Folcwine fulfilled the Oath of Eorl again in the time of Túrin II when Ithilien was invaded in strength by the Haradrim, but I don't know if he renewed the Oath by swearing it to Túrin.

King Éomer Éadig also took the Oath of Eorl to King Elessar when Elessar renewed the gift of Cirion after the War of the Ring.

Aye, matey, I've mooted aboard.

Thanks, Millane -- wasn't sure if there might be more information in Unfinished Tales you had in mind. Have got to get that book.

Er, hmm, OK: What rituals do the Rohirrim perform when they bury a king and greet his successor?

A cup of wine is filled. All of the Kings of the Mark are named, and at the name of the deceased, the succesor drains the cup. Then they hail the new king. -RotK

Right! (This after the deceased king is laid in a barrow with his arms and his favorite possessions and Riders of his house have ridden around the barrow on white horses while singing a song about him and his reign.)

Your turn....

The Mark of Rohan. Their kingdom. Calenardhon, as ceeded them by the Stewards.

And it's not the wold downs. I'm looking for the location of the East Wall of Rohan.

The Eastern border of Rohan was the River Anduin. There is no 'wall' involved.
