Éowyn is the niece of King Theoden in The Lord of the Rings. It was she who killed the Witch-King of Angmar and his fell beast during the Battle of Pelennor Field. Her femininity was an advantage in the clash, as it had been prophesied that no man could kill the Witch-King. She was helped by Merry, who struck the Witch-King with a blade forged by the men of Westernesse and enchanted for use against the forces of Angmar.
Films
In Peter Jackson's film adaptations of Lord of the Rings, Éowyn is played by Miranda Otto.
