Her femininity was an advantage in the clash, as it had been prophesied that no man could kill the Witch-King. She was helped by [[Merry]], who struck the Witch-King with a blade forged by the men of Westernesse and enchanted for use against the forces of Angmar. | '''Éowyn''' is the niece of King [[Theoden]] in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.
