Aldburg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aldburg (OE. 'Old Fortress') is one of the oldest settlements of J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth in Rohan, It is recorded it was built by Eorl in the region known as the Folde, some miles to the southeast of Edoras. Though his son, Brego moved to Edoras early in Rohan's history, Aldburg remained a seat of noblemen. At the time of the War of the Ring, it was the home of king Théoden's nephew Éomer, who was Third Marshal of the Mark, and heir of the Kingship of Rohan himself. |
