The Two Towers, LoTR Book 3, Ch 8, The Road to Isengard

... Théoden mourned for the loss of Háma, his captain, and cast the first earth upon his grave. 'Great injury indeed has Saruman done to me and all this land,' he said; 'and I will remember it, when we meet.'

The Two Towers, LoTR Book 3, Ch 8, The Road to Isengard

[Said Théoden,] 'And they hewed Háma's body before the gates of the Hornburg, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Orthanc.'
