During the ''War of the Ring'' she was given leadership of her people when the King went to war at [[Helm's Deep]]. She led her people to the safe Dunharrow in the [[Ered Nimrais|White Mountains]], where the people stayed during the remainder of the War. After returning from [[Isengard]] the army of Rohirrim made a short stay in Dunharrow, before being summonded to aid [[Gondor]]. Hopeless as to the outcome of the War, Éowyn forsook her duties as appointed leader of the people, and went with the Rohirrim under the guise of '''Dernhelm'''. As such she fought at the ''Battle of the Pelennor Fields''. There she confronted the [[Witch-king of Angmar]], leader of the Nazgûl. With the help of the Hobbit [[Meriadoc Brandybuck]], she manages to kill the Witch-king. Merry struck the Witch-king with his [[Arnor|Dúnedain]] blade forged for use against the forces of Angmar, which enabled Éowyn to make the fatal stroke. This fit with a thousand year old foretelling, that the Witch-king would not be killed "by the hand of man": Éowyn was a woman, and Merry a Hobbit.

During the fight her arm was broken, earning her the title ''Lady of the Shield-arm''.

During her stay in the Houses of Healing in [[Minas Tirith]], she met [[Faramir]] and fell in love with him. They were later that year married in Edoras, after which they went to live in Emyn Arnen as the Lord and Lady of [[Ithilien]]. The couple had at least one son, Elboron, and one grandson, Barahir.
