The Fields of Pelennor

Description

Éowyn is my favourite character in LoTR - when she was only seven years old Éowyn's father was killed fighting orcs and her mother later died of grief. Éowyn, niece to King Théoden of Rohan, and her brother Éomer were then raised by their uncle as if they were his own children.

During the battle of the Pelennor Fields she confronted the Witch-king of Angmar, Lord of the Nazgûl, after Théoden was injured. The Witch-king threatened to "bear her away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where her flesh shall be devoured, and her shrivelled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye."

The Witch-king boasted that "no living man" may hinder him but Eowyn then removed her helmet and replied:

But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund’s daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.

You've seen the film - you know what happens next.
