The Ride of the Rohirrim is my favorite moment in the books and my favorite scene in Peter Jackson's trilogy. In fact it's my favorite scene from any movie ever.
Even in Arthurian inspired works, that's more Celtic. The Anglo-Saxons were unfortunate enough to be prominent in the dark part of the dark ages, when writing traditions weren't as strong as during the classical era nor the medieval age to come. That's to say we have nothing of them, but more that they were too late to be legends and too early to be consequential history in their own right.
Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! Death! Death! Death! Forth Eorlingas!
@@Fenixias also around half of the actors playing the riders were actually women with fake beards, because most of the pro horse riders in NZ were female.
My best friend in pre-school was called Kyrian, this vid is such a mindfrick. His father was always such a LOTR-fan, but wow. Never knew I befriended a steward of Gondor
This video is over a year old and I must say, it continues to bring me great joy! Rohan is one of my favorite Kingdoms of Middle Earth and whenever I heard it spoke of aloud, I can’t help but swell my chest with pride at the telling. Thank you so much for creating it!
Love your analysis of Tolkein's work, Yoystan. You seem to have channeled his mind. This is also evident with your final words, which are so insightful. You always either add something of value to the story, or you find hidden value in Tolkein's stories. Keep up the great work - we just love it.
I think my favourite moment of Rohans history, is when Theoden grabs his sword and thereby awakes from his lethargy. I dont see violence as a good way to solve your problems, but this moment can be translated into our lives too. You know, sometimes in life we have to compromise and we accept those things that bother us but we cant change just in that moment. And we get used to this state where we just dont enjoy getting up in the morning anymore until the moment comes when you realize that you got enough and you have to commit your energy to fix all that crap. Theoden had this moment of awakening when he grabbed his old sword and remembered his own strength. Ofcause the moments when Rohirim riders rolling up the flanks of enemy armies are also great.
I was here when your channel was still small. Seeing your enthusiasm and attention to detail bring in a lot of new people is no surprise to me. Keep up the good work, friend!
I've recently found your channel and currently binge watching all your videos and loving everyone. Is there any chance of a video on Gondolin or Numenor?
I'm working on a Rohirrim character for an Adventures of Middle-Earth D&D game and this was super helpful! Thank you! For anyone else wondering, I did a little extra research and the setting of that module takes place in TA 2946 (5 years after the events of the The Hobbit) And Fengel was 76 years old and still king of Rohan until his death in TA 2953 when his son, Thengel, came back from Gondor. Fengel is Théoden's grandfather.
I am currently catching up on all your videos and am enjoying it. I have the LOTR trilogy, The Hobbit, The Children of Hurin and The Silmarillion. I have read the Hobbit and LOTR and am currently half way through The Silmarillion. I enjoy lots of facts and Lore whether its from a book series or from a big game like World of Warcraft for example. More of these videos make me remember more from the books and makes me want to read more. :D
This is well done! I've always liked Eowyn!🥰 Her pride, was to serve her King and Country, to serve her people and fight for those she loved! She was proud and stubborn but faithful, beautiful and "Skilled with a blade"! "Hail the victorious dead!" She almost gave up on love, but found it in an unlikely place.
!!!! Hell yes! I was just reading up on Rohan earlier when I got the notification. I squawked when I saw this notification. Bless Thank you so much man!!
Thank you for this video! Very informative! probably my favorite Rohan moment in history comes from the Two Towers film. At the battle of Helm's deep in the morning when Aragorn and Theoden ride out. When Gandalf appears and Eomer is right behind him and says, "Not alone! Rohirrim! To the King! from that moment to when they go crashing into the Orc army. is so stirring I get goosebumps just thinking about it! Such Loyalty and honor. In the Book when Eomer lays his sword at Theoden's feet after his release from jail just speaks volumes about Eomer and the best of the Rohirrim! Just beautiful!
Thank you very much for this video. I tend to see the Eorlingas as no more then the valliant riders that save Gondor from time to time. But they are a people with a long and rich history that deserves remembering. Fram the dragon slayer, Eorl the Young, Helm Hammerhand, there were kings in Gondor who could claim less greater deeds.
"Forth Eorlingas..." and "I am No Man" Is all I need to say!!! By the Way...Woow I was there for 100 Subscribers, it has Grown A LOT!!! Thank you so much for the History of Rohan and Your Welcome for Subscribing to you Mellon!!! Until *The 7 Dwarf Kingdoms Video...* Marion Baggins Out!!! P.s Will you do a Video on *The Children of Hurin* and *The Fall of Gondolin* Before Gondolin's Book is out Mellon, Thanks?!!!
Marion Baggins Thank you for all of the support, it really means a lot! Now that the summer is nearly here, I’ll make sure that those two videos happen in the next few months!
+Marion Baggins I hope all is well, Mellon. The fall of Gondolin is one of my favorites. I would have liked to see the 7 gates and what they looked like, especially the one supposedly made of Mithril. And the part of the broken and alone Hurin, again a fav, crying out to the mountains, not being admitted in, although it led to Gondolins downfall. Until next week, take care. I bet you and I could talk for days about middle earth. What fun!
thanks for the upload brotha these videos get into so much depth, and help me understand so much more about these lands keep up the good work! love from Toronto
I love these videos. They are great. I was thinking of one where you trace the Lord of the Rings using a map, and highlighting the paths they took. Then highlighting the key points.
I finished reading The Lord of the Rings a couple of days ago. And i have been watching your videoes to get more info about Tolkiens works. Your videoes are really good and i enjoy watching them :)
Indeed another wonderful video! You have a talent for lore and your quality is great! Also, shout to the marriage of your friends! May it be the adventure they always dreamed forged in love, an emparishable flame :)
Man, binge watching these is really hammering home just how unavoidable the theme of diminishing repetition over time is in these stories. Almost every single event from the Lord of the Rings happened AT LEAST once already in the history of Middle-earth. A force from Isengard drives the Rohirrim to Helm's Deep.
By far The People of Rohan our my favorite of Middle Earth . The Horsemasters and Shieldmaidens are badass. Wish their was more history regarding the the ladies, but still great video thanks for posting.
Wow! 90K already! I remember when it was... I don't know... Les than 10K? And thinking how strange it was that this channel had not blown up already. It has been amazing to see your growth as a video maker and in notoriety, but I am sure that this is just the beginning. Well deserved congratulations, and best of luck going forward!
Fort Eorlingas!!nc video..the perfect channel for tolkien's fans.just subscribe to your channel a week ago.good job mate.May the riders of rohan be with you.
Just discovered your channel, color me subscribed. The material both visual and spoken is magical. I was touched by your good wishes to your subscribers upon their wedding and I name you Kindnessnacht!, or nice guy in the tongue of men. Keep up the good work!
When my parents saw LOTR for the first time, my mother was pregnant with me. After they saw the movies, they immediately decided on my name, Rohan, and I've loved Lord of The Rings ever since
My favorite? "SPEAR SHALL BE SHAKEN, SHIELD SHALL BE SPLINTERED, A SWORD-DAY, A RED DAY, ERE THE SUN RISES!" Man... I will forever wish the knights of Dol Amroth were in the movie. Only thing that... might outclass the Rohirrim.
New subscriber and I love the channel. I've been wAtching your vlogs non-stop since found u!!! AMAZING. Honestly things I've been wondering about for years but never has Thad time to delve that deep into. Thank you so so so much!
I like to fancy myself an aspiring lore-master of the Legendarium but my goodness, I knew almost nothing about the rise of Rohan in the latter part of the 3rd age. Thanks for your informative video
Eorl the Young died in battle. Brego died of grief after his son died (walking into the Paths of the Dead on a dare). Aldor had war, but died peacefully in old age. Fréa, Fréawine, and Goldwine all had peace and prosperity. Déor had war, but I don't believe that he died in battle. Nothing is said of Gram. Helm Hammerhand died in battle, as did his sons, bringing an end to that line. Fréaláf Hildeson ruled next, followed by Brytta. Walda died in an orc ambush, not battle as such. Folca died hunting boar. Folcwine's two eldest sons died in battle helping Gondor, but the king himself did not. Fengel was not a good king. Thengel moved to Gondor in his youth, and won honour there, returning to Rohan to be king when his father died. Théoden Ednew died in battle on the Pelenor Fields, his only son Theodred having predeceased him at the Fords of Isen. Thus ended the second line.
The scenery from the ROTK, in Pelennor Field, was a sight to behold. Theodon calling his horse-lords to ride to their 'death' and 'ruin'. And then horn blows, men screamed 'death' two times, charging the enemy to help Gondor. Of course, that's the movie. Reading a book is different from the movie, but still, Peter Jackson was smart adding some quotes and sun-setting scenery. It has always been in my mind.
Nice video! Love how you always have a moral at the end. This video also makes me wonder what would've gone differently in the story if Theodred survived the fords of the Isen. perhaps that could be a future video?
I just found your channel. Great work, dude. As a native speaker of Portuguese, sometimes it is difficult to understand some parts only by speaking. I miss subtitles in English. Anyway, keep It up the good work. Love your videos 😉
The Ride of the Rohirrim is my favorite moment in the books and my favorite scene in Peter Jackson's trilogy. In fact it's my favorite scene from any movie ever.
When the horn blows it gives me goosebumps dude.
@@chrisd9656 Every time! I've seen the scene dozens of times, but it still gives me chills.

Gondor would have fallen without Rohan
There is no watching that scene without tears

Now for wrath..Now for ruin..forth Eorlingas!!
DEATH!!!!!!

What I love so much about Rohan is that you never see Anglo Saxon inspired fantasy cultures it’s always just Old Norse
Or High Medieval era french/english inspired.
Even in Arthurian inspired works, that's more Celtic. The Anglo-Saxons were unfortunate enough to be prominent in the dark part of the dark ages, when writing traditions weren't as strong as during the classical era nor the medieval age to come. That's to say we have nothing of them, but more that they were too late to be legends and too early to be consequential history in their own right.
Gondor and Arnor may be the greatest kingdoms of men, but I doubt they could claim to be as proud and honorable as Rohan, not to mention as badass.
Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers,
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
A day may come when the courage of men fails,
when we forsake our friends
and break all bonds of fellowship,
but it is not this day.
An hour of wolves and shattered shields,
when the age of men comes crashing down,
but it is not this day!
This day we fight!!
By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,
I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!

So, my name is Rohan. And my parents are massive lotr and hobbit fans, now i have become one.
@@gommgat4509 good thing they did not name you Teleporno (Lord Celeborn original name) 😂
Jest aside, that's a cool name (Rohan, not the other one 😂)

Forth Eorlingas!
Orcs: *Shoot Arrows*
Rohirrim: *Not Slowing Down* DEATH! DEATH!

@Kaden Overstreet so they were really all riding on horses, they were not animated?
@Kaden Overstreet that's amazing, I didn't know! Super impressive how much work they put into these movies, no surprise the outcome is so good.
@@Fenixias also around half of the actors playing the riders were actually women with fake beards, because most of the pro horse riders in NZ were female.

Eomer : To the king !

Incredible video. One of your best. Liked the story of Eomer and his portrayal in the books more than the movies fighting along side Aragorn.
Had a terrible weekend. Thanks for salvaging the week Yostan! Professor possibly imagined rohan to be a potential line ancestral to brits of his day.

Aaragorn's compliment to Brego saying, "Your name is kingly, makes more sense now."
And Aragorn is speaking Anglo saxon, not elvish, when he says that. Sneaky guy, that Peter Jackson.
Was there any king of Rohan that didn't die fighting?
Eomer
Esildor died running
Helm Hammerhand died standing up from exposure.
Eorl the Young died in battle. Brego died of grief after his son died (walking into the Paths of the Dead on a dare). Aldor had war, but died peacefully in old age. Fréa, Fréawine, and Goldwine all had peace and prosperity. Déor had war, but I don't believe that he died in battle. Nothing is said of Gram. Helm Hammerhand died in battle, as did his sons, bringing an end to that line.
Fréaláf Hildeson ruled next, followed by Brytta. Walda died in an orc ambush, not battle as such. Folca died hunting boar. Folcwine's two eldest sons died in battle helping Gondor, but the king himself did not. Fengel was not a good king. Thengel moved to Gondor in his youth, and won honour there, returning to Rohan to be king when his father died. Théoden Ednew died in battle on the Pelenor Fields, his only son Theodred having predeceased him at the Fords of Isen. Thus ended the second line.
All info from The Lord of the Rings. All save for the death of Theodred, which is in the text, is from Appendix A.

I feel like the movies portrayed Rohan better than the other kingdoms. I know they changed things but it really felt like Rohan when watching it
Rohan’s army was mostly Cavalry and they had a king to boost the moral of the Rohirrim
