Théodred
(Redirected from Theodred)
Théodred (T.A. 2978-3019) is a fictional character in The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. He was the only son and heir of King Théoden of Rohan. His mother, Elfhild, died in childbirth.
Théodred's name is probably taken from the Anglo-Saxon words "þeod" ("folk", "people", "nation") and "ræd" ("counsel").
Théodred was slain in the First Battle of the Fords of Isen making his cousin Éomer heir to the throne of Rohan.
In Peter Jackson's film version, the death of Théodred is a major event early in the movie, whereas in the book, it has all happened by the time we come to Rohan.
