Aldor the Old becomes King of Rohan
Event Type: Genealogical
Age: 3rd Age - The Stewards
Year: 2570
Description:
2512-70
2. Brego. ... Rohan was not attacked again for many years. In 2569 he completed the great hall of Meduseld. At the feast his son Baldor vowed that he would tread 'the Paths of the Dead' and did not return. Brego died of grief the next year.
2544-2645
3. Aldor the Old. He was Brego's second son. He became known as the Old, since he lived to a great age, and was king for 75 years. In his time the Rohirrim increased, and drove out or subdued the last of the Dunlendish people that lingered east of Isen. Harrowdale and other mountain-valleys were settled. Of the next three kings little is said, for Rohan had peace and prospered in their time.
2570-2659
4. Fréa. Eldest son, but fourth child of Aldor; he was already old when he became king.
