Changes

Éowyn is the most heroic female character in ''The Lord of the Rings''. 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 [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]] into battle, where fortuitously she and Merry were able to unseat the leader of the nine [[Nazgûl|Black Riders]], turning the tide of the battle.
