Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, And the bright hair flowing? Where is the hand on the harpstring, And the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest And the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, Like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
If Gondor/Arnor and the Numenoreans are what man can be when granted divine power, Rohan/Dale are what man can be with their greatest self-potential is achieved.
That's so beautifully put. Aragorn has never been the most compelling hero to me, because he seems too perfect; especially in the movies, he always does the right thing and always seems to be right. King Theoden, by contrast, had such palpable vulnerability to him as a King. When he went to his fathers, in whose mighty company he would not now feel ashamed, it felt so earned. Needless to say, the same goes for the recently-late Bernard Hill, who brought so much to Middle-Earth through his supremely Shakespearean portrayal of one of its most compelling figures.
I love that moment when Galadriel conjures a mist to help the Eotheod move beyond the shadow on Mirkwood. In a way, she directly contributed to the establishment of Rohan and it's little moments of continuity that makes you love the lore of Middle Earth
One cannot help but admire her mental fortitude. She told Frodo that she is constantly aware of Sauron's power pushing against her own, which means that she basically engaging in a nonstop mental battle against him for centuries...
@@untruelie2640she kept her ring on, after all. She's basically left the backdoor to her mind open, and is just standing there in the doorway for centuries, refusing to admit him.
So passed the spirit of Théoden Son of Thengel King of Rohan and Lord of the Riddermark Into the halls of his fathers The greatest of son of great sires Rest in Peace mister Hill and thank you for everything.
It was such a mighty declaration, the Men Sauron and Morgoth before him swayed into fearing death now not only declare they are not afraid, but charge against death willingly. None will ever be like Bernard Hill. He will be missed.
At 17:56 Out of all of the parts of the History of Rohan... I love this oath so much in how gondor & Rohan had kept it till the ends of the world + with some of the clips from the LOTR makes this part much better.
Bernard Hill’s portrayals have helped me through all of my exams in uni. *A Sword Day - A Red Day - ‘ERE THE SUN RISES* echoed in my ears when I rushed to review my materials and calmed my nerves to ride to war to my professors in my trusty Civic. Rest in Peace, Théoden King
I believe that some of the Edain who survived the War of Wrath but didn't go to Númenor fled over the Ered Luin as far east as Rhovanion and merged with their ancient kin who never traveled farther west. As an interesting note, the two marriages of kings of Rohan to women from the line of the princes of Dol Amroth introduced an Elvish strain into the royal house of the Rohirrim.
Probably my favorite faction of Tolkien's work. Just some tough people, grit and steel, against the dark forces of Middle Earth. *Forth Eorlingas!* RIP Bernard Hill, my favorite king.
He sure was. For me, the scene that touched me the most was the death of his son. Really felt that acting, with Shore's music and Peter Jackson camera angles etc.. could go on and on here.. a lovely mix of skilled an talented human beings working together.
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! 🐎 RIP
Hail the victorious dead....Long Live the King!..... Be at peace Bernard Hill, you made us fans feel inspired to fulfill our oaths and ride to another's aid. Thank you for an everlasting Legacy.
Ride now Théoden King, through the grey rain curtin of this world. Onto white shores and into that far green country. To the halls of your forefathers, in who's great company you will now find rest
Hail Théoden, King of the Mark! Everyone in the movies was perfectly cast, but it was Bernard Hill that makes you get the most lumps in your throat. From his grief at Théodred's death to his speech before the ride of the Rohirrim to his last scene.
A wonderful recounting of the history of Rohan! Thank you so much for your knowledge and appreciation of Tolkien's work. Best vid I've seen in some time!
Curious: Was anyone else at least a little sad that Theodin did not also honor Theodred with his final speech to Eowyn as he was dying on Pellenor Fields? I wanted this instead: “I go to my fathers. And to my son. Even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed.” I understand he’s speaking to the glorious bravery of his ancestors and how he now feels worthy to join them in whatever afterlife awaits. Yet as a man who has lost both a father and a son, I could not fathom my final thought on this earth-no matter the circumstances surrounding my death-excluding my child who died before me. I loved my father deeply and my heart broke when he died, but his death-like the death of his father before him-followed the natural course of things. My son’s death turned the universe upside down. It has never been righted, but I have adapted to an upside down universe. I had to. For my living children. I still cannot hear Theoden’s anguished line to Gandalf without weeping. “No parent should have to bury their child.” Read that dialogue out loud and out of context from this film. It is bare, howling and universally, eternally true.
Hail the victorious dead! Hail Theoden King!!! The ships have come to carry you home! Bernard Hill’s performance is one of my favorite things about the lotr trilogy. His epic calls to battle in both two towers and return of the king have stuck with me, inspiring me through some of the hardest times of my life. There was never a moment he wasn’t fully convincing as Theoden, an incredible, powerful performance. He will live on in our hearts!
Rohan's History and Kingdom will always have a place as being best Fantasy Kingdom of all time from lord of the rings. I'll miss the actor who play King Theoden who did a great job bringing the character to life.
Me and my mom have a connection through lord of the rings and Tolkien media. The other day she told me the king of Rohan had died and I was confused for obvious reasons. Then she told me about how Bernard hill had passed.. ALL HAIL THE KING!! ALL HAIL THE HORSEMASTER AND LORD OF THE MARK!

If Gondor/Arnor and the Numenoreans are what man can be when granted divine power, Rohan/Dale are what man can be with their greatest self-potential is achieved.
In a way that makes the middle men stronger than the descendants of Numenor

@@colinbaldwin313Aragorn is a man of noble upbringing, like unto Manwe. This is why. He has the conscience of a noble Elf-lord.
@@shepherddog1199 I know. It's not surprising that his character would seem figuratively as well as literally less human that Theoden's.
@@colinbaldwin313 right. Theoden was, however, a noble king in his own right
Farewell.... King of Rohan.....
May the Maiar sing your songs of legends alongside Eru himself....
RIP. Bernard Hill
I hope the credits for War of the Rohirrim this year starts with ''Dedicated to Bernard Hill'' or something like that.
That would be a great tribute.😁👍
How about just “For Bernard” ala Aragorn’s “For Frodo.” ❤
That would be very fitting!
💯

RIP. Every time I read LOTR. I can't help but when I think of Theoden King, I picture him due to Peter Jackson's casting.
Hail Théoden King! 🍻
Thank You for covering the Complete History of the Rohirrim. 🐎💚
Nice history lesson of the Rohirrim. We even got a spoiler related to the War of the Rohirrim movie coming out later this year.😁👍
WOAH!, 48 minutes seemed to be shorter than a blink of an eye! THANK YOU FRIEND!!!
He was strong in life. His spirit will find its way to the halls of your fathers.
Rest well Great King, you will be remembered forever
Hail the victorious dead!
Thank you a lot for covering all Tolkien's literature mate. Follow you for a long time now! Cheers from Brazil and keep it up!
Rest in Peace Bernard Hill.
When the Horn of Helm Hammerhand sounds in the deep one last time, the sounds will echo your name…

So much to take in, will need a second viewing.
A second viewing and a notebook.😅
My thoughts as well
Hail Théoden! Amazing video, thank you so much for this homage to the people of the Riddermark.
Yesss! Love these compilations, please bring more of them 😊
This, as all of your content, was very well done. Thanks for doing it, always a pleasure to take a deep dive with you!
Excellent as always. A fitting tribute ❤
Great video as always! The more I learn about the lore the more I am amazed at Tolkien's writings ❤
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! 🐎 RIP

The editing at18:20 is phenomenal. The whole video is great, but that was my favorite moment.

I run to the Charge of the Rohirrim. Who would not like Norse-Viking calvary with dope banners?
Great job!!
The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time.
Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
RIP Bernard Hill! His spirit was strong in life. He will find his way to the halls of his forebears!
“Your hand would remember their own strength…if they grasped your sword.”🗡️
Barad-Duhr Lego set just unveiled today. This is not a drill! Looks awesome!
I spent 47 minutes listening non-stop, great video
Anyone else hope the "War of the Rhorrihim" film with have a "In Memory of King Theoden/Bernard Hill" at the end?
Can you perhaps do a video in which you’ll delve deeper into the Dagor Bragollach and the aftermath of this battle?
The Rohirrim are certainly brave and honorable, R.I.P. Bernard Hill.

How big is the LOTR universe with this much history and story they should just keep making movies and series..damn!!
