no evidence that Eowyn's "disguise" fooled anybody
'''Éowyn''' is a character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, appearing in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. Éowyn is a daughter of the House of Eorl and the niece of [[Théoden|King Théoden]] of [[Rohan (Middle-earth)|Rohan]].

During the ''War of the Ring'' she 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 managed 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''.

*She came to an understanding with Elfhelm about Merry and the Marshal and his Riders ignored the Hobbit's presence. If Elfhelm recognized Dernhelm to be Eowyn, he said nothing about it to the King. Eowyn spoke to no one else in the company. [http://www.tuckborough.net/eowyn.html]
