LOTR: Rohan (Complete)

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

A movie about Helm Hammerhand would be epic

[@sisyphus4889]

Maybe a lotr series for some of the history each season dealing with a different part of history.

[@ianeverson3396]

La Aisling

[@godofwarhammer7655]

I would watch that

[@elias9746]

@evansdrad The celtic nationalist it's real look up Amazon lotr

[@johnbarrientosiii6586]

Salvador Reyes I would watch that too. There’s gonna be a lotr series buh the new director of whatever is a total crazy feminist sjw, soooooo she’s prolly ruin it before it starts

[@Josiahiswatching]

And out of nowhere Rohirrim History and that of Middle Earth was changed by Tom Bombodil pracin' up and giving a hobbit a knife.

[@jerec1267]

well i mean the entirety of the war of the ring was basically an entire streak of 1 rolls for sauron. failed with overwhelming odds in rohan failed with overwhelming odds in gondor failed with overwhelming odds in erebor failed with overwhelming odds in caras galadhon failed with overwhelming odds in mirkwood seriously if he had rolled a 2+ in any of these places he would have won the war

[@therealoldnosey8689]

lol that's exactly my comment

[@王沪宁-f9b]

Jerec 12 eru man eru :)

[@michaeldavis9190]

日本人です？

[@jessrevill1852]

Well, Gandalf was a pretty big die roll modifier.

[@30equalsMemoryminus]

The Rohan theme is the best thing about lotr

[@someoneirrelevant6815]

Oh everyone knows that. I’m glad that you know.

[@jeremyjudson1288]

SO THAT'S WHY THEY SOUNDED THE HORN BEFORE ATTACKING THE URUK-HAI

[@MrNorbo95]

'The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep: one last time'.

[@TheBlackjacks2]

shivers man

[@SeoulGuideMedical]

This explains a lot. Well done sir.

[@youtoob4life]

No mention of Eomer marrying Lothiriel? I think that helped solidify relations with Gondor as well.

[@navilluscire2567]

4:57 Part of why I like lotr (and by extension the silmirilion) so much is because of all the diffrent names for things! Makes the world seem more real (which is always cool!) like names for a people (by others), what they call themselves and so on.

[@WarriorofCathar]

I used to be a witch king. But then I took a dagger to the knee.

[@nikolaiuberhoff4622]

Epic

[@CharlieInWesteros]

Omg that was awesome! Rohan was one of my favourite parts of LotR so thank you for making this Civ!! Also Northmen and Long Winter? Hehe almost sounds like GRRM drew some influences from Rohan and its history! ;)

[@marcusbierman5310]

Hi Charlie!

[@plutoniumZRAGE]

Both of those are actually terms from ancient European languages! :) Northman is a literal translation of Old Norse "Norðmaðr," meaning "Norwegian person." Long Winter is a less direct translation of Fimbulvinter, the three years of winter that comes before Ragnarok, the end of the world in Norse Mythology. :)

[@altelt802]

Jonathan Williams That is a crude, uninformed and biased outlook on both works. Nothing better to be expected,however,from the likes you.

[@rosaryinkeanushand4827]

Charlie In Westeros GRRM has already said he was inspired by the works of TOLKIEN.so really theres no need to hate on him as he honestly & respectively pays homage.

[@thejadondaviscommentaries1613]

You should see the inspiration someone took from GRRM, the writer of a book series named Deltora Quest well they took an almost theft of intellectual property just look it up

[@yasoum9286]

As always .. Pure gold

[@edwardgamboa277]

Love LOTR so much named my daughter Stella Eowyn after Eowyn of Rohan.

[@z3char1ah]

Dude. One of the best history of middle earth videos out there. Major kudos...clean, clear, concise, accurate pronunciation. Well done!

[@MichaelsChannel001]

middle earth needs more movies

[@jeffreygao3956]

An entire cinematic universe to fully adapt the Third Age alone!

[@pepcool110]

Before Saruman was gifted Isengard, who lived there? And why was Isengard build in the first place, what was it purpose? :)

[@avrorik369]

Isengard was a military fortress to guard the Gap of Rohan (called the Gap of Calenardhon at the time). The Numenoreans built the tower of Orthanc, and the surrounding fortifications were added later by various tenants. The Gondorian army originally dwelt there, but later it abandoned Isengard to the Dunlendings.

[@pepcool110]

Alright that was a nice answer :D ty Sir

[@peterpoulsen1210]

Isengaard was a old sellement of Gondor :)

[@Halbared]

To add to the above, it's name was ANgrenost, it was called Isengard by the Rohirrim.

[@bruhbeanhead7354]

I feel like the dunlendings aren't the bad guys, because the Rohan chased them out of their lands

[@bazlinajmuddin5452]

they were a war like people that wold raid neighbouring lands like vikings and so on...

[@jeffreygao3956]

So if Rohan is the Comanche, does that make the Dunlendings Apache?

[@rayleigh8]

you should have kept going thru the appendix till eomer got old and had peregrim and merry visit him one last time before he died

[@CamoflaugeDinosaue]

So being king of Rohan is basically a death sentence.

[@sivanlevi3867]

In the game Middle Earth Shadow of War, you get to encounter Helm Hammerhand as one of the Nazgul.

[@jeremyjudson1288]

This video explained a ton, like how the witch king was killed. I always thought it was just a loophole in the rule that no MAN could kill him. Great job!

[@nathanapplegate5374]

"The horn of helm hammerhand shall sound in the deep. One last time. Let this be the hour when we draw swords together."

[@ianeverson3396]

m

[@cassuttustshirt4949]

That..was amazing. Holy hell. You know your stuff, and your pronunciation is spot..fucking...on.

[@thatdudewelove8498]

So king helm was basically middle earth's equivalent of batman?? Nice!

[@feanor2053]

Excellent work

[@woodrainmudd7684]

Thank you for the video.

[@navilluscire2567]

Love the soothng music!

[@conconoli93]

Thanks for all your hard work lads! Great videos!

[@iron_sideentertainment726]

Can't wait for the new animated series

[@yesmlord9483]

Would love to see something about Gondor

[@rizkymubaroq3025]

Greatest Bromance ever

[@nathanaelheil2818]

Do you have one about the Easterlings/The kingdom of Rhun?

[@JVDAWG1]

He does.

[@jeffreygao3956]

It might be more of a coincidence but the Comanche are similar to the Rohirrim in many ways.

[@martinchristian597]

Duke de Rohan of french huguenot general hero was also very famous and popular. he wrote memoirs about his life, struggle and war.

[@toshley6192]

Every time I try and watch a video about Lord of the Rings lore, 95% of it makes absolutely no sense. It seems like you already need to know the full history of the world just to understand all the names and places thrown around in these videos. Trying to learn is damn near impossible, there's just no starting point.

[@colleenross8752]

One man created all of this!

[@UNCANNYGEORGE]

Love your channel, subscribed! Keep up the good work!!!

[@gvill4005]

I like how every king no matter what had a successor ending any possibility for a civil war over the throne

[@anthonywolfe3051]

You forgot to say the Horn of Helm hammerhand was sound before they went out.

[@kennethkim1221]

Never even thought that the blade Pipin used to stab the Witch King at the back was made and by Tom Bombadil and was specifically designed to kill the Witch King @_@ Very mind blowing :D

[@azipoor3468]

Helm Hammerhand,bodybuilder of middle-earth

[@kristophershepard2563]

Pro-tip: any Rohirric name ending in “-wine”, the suffix is pronounced “win-eh”.

[@ccramit]

Again, amazing work.

[@Fehorder]

ive forgotten, have you covered Roberts Rebellion in full?

[@CivilizationEx]

Not in full no, but I'll get to it one day.

[@russiawolf11]

Great videos man

[@concept5631]

There should be a TV show about the history of Rohan.

[@concept5631]

Best if there isn't.

[@starmouseking9310]

my name is rohan (my parents love the books & films)

[@rohangagrai106]

You should come to India, you'll find plenty of rohans here but it means something completely different 😂

[@HeartlessRandomguy]

Rohan is also the name of one of Bob Marley's sons

[@svarog8126]

Tom Bombadil Play of the game.

[@rayleigh8]

When the rohan men tell the old and great history of their people, what does an elf of the light thinks?. When legolas was born, the rohorring still had no move to the lands of rohan. Imagine an elf of the light listening to the 700 year old history of rohan

[@rayleigh8]

i was talking about an elf of the light, not a dark ignorant elf like legolas.

[@cameronleonard2451]

Imagine Galadriel herself hearing of Rohan's history. She is like 6000 years old, but has a great lightness about her. Her reaction to it to me is quite a mystery, because she almost literally 10 times Rohan's age, but she is *such* a kind elf.

[@awakened_link1041]

Excellent video.

[@nicholasloremann4741]

The witch king aka kingdom wrecker

[@herpesinflammation]

So was the whole beacon scene in Return of the King just a replacement for the red arrow?

[@philipjwh2580]

Yup, in the books by the time Gandalf rolls up to Gondor the arrow had already been sent to Rohan

[@herpesinflammation]

@@philipjwh2580 hey I know it's been almost a year but thanks for replying

[@Paperman14]

Great video!

[@gavinthetryhard9000]

8:10 wait so the last long of Rohan spent 23 years fighting Dunland and they’re just now declaring them enemies?!

[@nfigs]

Can you do one on Gondor

[@kostastsagkos3388]

do a video with the kings of arnor and gondor

[@Zorokthegreat]

Wonderful

[@supershenron9162]

See it's the small details that the movie's lack such as the fight against the witch king And how he was truly defeated Just for one

[@athow123]

Please do the honorverse

[@joedredd1168]

Helm Hammerhand vs Robert Baratheon. Who wins?

[@ethanwall2443]

Has he done a video on the easterlings

[@CivilizationEx]

Not yet but next month I will be covering that topic, later this month Beren and Luthien :)

[@iron_sideentertainment726]

I just noticed that numenor was in between middle earth and valinor I wonder if it's supposed to symbolize that they are in between elves and regular men? 🤔

Do one for gondor

No it is a complete video with parts 1 and 2 combined.

[@mihir702]

10:12 Folca is Robert Baratheon

[@breaden4381]

You know, Calradia looks a lot like Middle Earth

[@emperorjustinian7957]

Your actually right?!

[@11Survivor]

Pretty sure the Rohirrim are based somewhat on the Alemanni, who were notorious for their cavalry.

[@jeffreygao3956]

More like Scythians or Huns.

[@levelup6333]

Hi my name is Rohan

[@mingthan7028]

Where was Gondor when Westfold fell?

[@Will.Flavell]

[@ADogNamedStay]

Is that map right? Didn't the uruks retreat through fangorn Forrest?

[@nurithegolden5755]

Good Video Could you do gondor next there is so much that I dont know about Gondor like dol amroth prince blackwood prince could you pls explain it thx (:

[@SanderAgelink]

amazing video, but isn't hobbit just 'little man' in English folklore? Or did Tolkien made it then so it made sense in Rohiric?

[@marchabchy8553]

He made that up. Hobbit in eng, no meaing..

[@TheAidanvr]

Sander Agelink he made it up but then found out that holbytlar or something like that is actually gothic or otherwise Germanic for hole digger or hole dweller and included it in the books.

[@highgroundproductions8590]

Turns out King Aldor lived to be 101 with about zero Numenorean blood.

[@concept5631]

I know see were Grr Martain gets the history of Asoiaf.

[@concept5631]

*now *GRRM You're dumb.

[@concept5631]

*You are

[@gilgamesh2399]

And then the Rohirim arrived!

[@semiautothanoscar9612]

They are Very Gothic or Vandalic to me atleast

[@Max1990Power]

I agree. Also have you heard of Childeric. He was a frankish chief. Buried with his horse in a mound in what is today Belgium. Also Redwald, the anglo/saxon chief from Sutton Hoo. I think his helmet was inspiration for some of the gear the rohirrim used. At least i think that is were Howe and Alan Lee with Weta workshop got inspiration.

[@louisiananlord17]

I thought that Eowyn was queen of Rohan per Théoden's orders before the Battle of Pleanor Fields. And Éomer was just a noble of Rohan who helped. Also, any lore on Merry's blade given to him by Aragorn?

[@cheeseham9503]

You can thank Tom Bombadil for peace in Middle Earth.

[@rohanmalik90]

Lol just typed my name on KZbin, not disappointed 😎

[@jonthorn1968]

Fram is Icelandic for forward

[@LauraTrigg]

Fram is Old English for strong or stout.

[@thejadondaviscommentaries1613]

Excuse me ExCiv and anyone reading but can any of you tell the name of the song in the background of this video it’s killing me to know

[@CivilizationEx]

It's called Dont Leave me, all songs are linked in the description of videos, :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4OsoKJvmq2pj8k

[@thejadondaviscommentaries1613]

Thank you I've been trying to figure out the title of that song out for monthes

[@jerec1267]

im sorry but i will never take the early third age seriously just because of the name of the wain riders for those who dont know wain is one of the worlds for child in scottish (specifically glasgow) and so whenever someone says wain riders all i can think of is easterlings riding to war on the shoulders of kids

[@adventussaxonum]

Exactly, Laura.......as in the famous John Constable painting "The Hay Wain."

[@jeremyjoyjanobas5383]

The_Illyrian_Empire

[@Halbared]

No love for ERkenbrand? Grimna didn'r 'cast spells' on Theoden, that's from the wank films. Plus without the Huorns, Theoden would have died rather quickly in his fight out of the Hornburg.

[@Heisenberg929]

Robert Baratheon =King Folca

[@Captain__Harlock]

Wow so Eomer was actually Théoden's nephew? And Eowyn was his niece? Are she and Eomer brother and sister? Wow that's never touched on in the movie. Eomer is just know as the Third Marshall of the Mark. In the movie's they make it seem as if Eowyn is Théoden's daughter, which I was always like why doesn't Eomer just marry her and be in the royal family, well he is! So Eowyn actually does marry Faramir, nice, I hope there relationship was touched upon in the books because it seemed rather rushed. So What becomes of Faramir, he's not a noble of Gondor, he's married to the niece of the former King of Rohan, does he go back to Rohan and help them?

[@Cookiesdiefrombehind]

Captain Harlock you should rewatch the movie. Eomer totally calls Eowynn his sister when Grima spies on her.

[@Captain__Harlock]

You know, your totally right I do remember that. Théoden still treats her like his daughter though. It has been awhile since I seen the movies I shall correct that.

[@Cookiesdiefrombehind]

Makes sense for a daughterless uncle to treat his niece like a daughter. Especially since Eowynn and Eomer were orphaned.

[@joostwientjes7701]

"he's not a noble of Gondor" Well he was Boromir's brother so that's about as noble as it gets apart from Aragon that is.

[@timothystradley309]

Uh yeah they did..the first thing Theoden did after Gandalf freed him from Saruman’s hold was ask where his son was. Who wasn’t Eomer

[@LiquidSnake1988]

Whats focus?

[@CivilizationEx]

It's the old name of the series these videos were a part of, I don't separate them like that anymore though.

[@rlp1998]

can someone tell me if there is any stories after the war of the ring, and if there is, what they're called.

[@rayleigh8]

appendix A.

[@rlp1998]

what are you trying to tell me? because i tried to search for appendix A, and that wasn't about LOTR

[@rlp1998]

oh okay, thank you.

[@rayleigh8]

Rasmus Pedersen see, I told you, and you're welcome

[@rlp1998]

then i thank you too :D

[@theviking363]

Your speach is to fast to do the Roahim pruod..

[@MrMarinus18]

If you compare LOTR and GOT you can see that Westeros is far larger than Middle Earth and has far more communication. GOT plays out more like late medieval with knightly orders having great amounts of power and prestige and trade cities rivaling the influence and power of nobles. LOTR is more like early medieval with people carving out land in once great empires.

[@joostwientjes7701]

and elves and dwarves and orcs and wizards and ents and TOM FUCKING BOMBADIL

[@MrMarinus18]

I would say so with GOT being more like 13-15th century Europe.

[@Max1990Power]

@@MrMarinus18 yeah because martin used the war of the roses as inspiration while Tolkien had Beowulf and Edda. So his medieval world is more into 700 1000 AD. Also the Rohirrim use burial mounds. Sort of like childeric in Belgium and in Scandinavia. When I think about it. If rohirrim is more of 600-700 AD Gondor is more like Konstantinopel or the empire built by Karl the Great.

[@TyrionLannister83]

11:06 How was Wormtongue able to use spells and witchcraft? I thought only Valar, Maia and people with rings of power were able to use magic.

[@TeenageMutantZuckerTurtle]

I’m pretty sure the Witch King of Angmar was already a pretty nasty sorcerer before he even received the ring? Don’t quote me on that, but I thought humans (and elves, obviously) could use lesser magic without a ring of power, maybe using some sort of lesser magical artifacts. Gandalf does reference magic rings to Bilbo in the Hobbit, and lets him keep it before realizing it was the One Ring years later, and I doubt he would have let him keep it if he knew it was one of the rings of power at all, so that sort of confirms that there are other lesser magic rings out there that weren’t one of THE rings. And I always thought that it was Saruman’s spell on Theoden, not Wormtongue’s. Saruman made him weak and pliable, and Wormtongue was just there to whisper in his ear and tell him what to do?

[@sethleoric2598]

I keep having these people (numenoreans) being the like the norse of the world yeeah i should really check on my norse country history im too into the 1900s and late 1800s
