'''Éowyn''' is the most heroic female character 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]]. Loyally taking care of the king (her uncle), she noted with dismay how Wormtongue (a spy for Saruman) seduced Theoden into acting the dotard. Her spirit was roused by the arrival of Aragorn, and she demonstrated the utmost loyalty to king and country by disguising herself as a man and riding with [[Merry]] into battle, where fortuitously she and Merry were able to unseat the leader of the nine [[Black Riders]], turning the tide of the battle.

No one ever spoke aloud to her although she walked freely around the camp.

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''.
