Sometimes you gotta rebel a little
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 fits 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''.

==Opinion==
Eowyn, like the hobbits Pippin and Merry, disobeyed higher authority. She risked censure or punishment for going on a quest, and yet proved in a crucial moment that she did well thereby. If the Council had not allowed Merry and Pippin to join the other Seven Travellers, who would have roused Treebeard? And Pippin saved [[Faramir]] from a fiery death at the hands of his grief-crazed father.
