Biography[]
Born in TA 2644, Déor was the son of Goldwine. Déor was born during the reign of his great-great-grandfather Aldor the Old. Déor's birth in TA 2644, created a unique situation within the House of Eorl; with his birth, five successive generations were living simultaneously in one royal house:
- Aldor, (b. TA 2544 - d. TA 2645)
- Fréa, (b. TA 2570 - d. TA 2659)
- Fréawine, (b. TA 2594 - d. TA 2680)
- Goldwine, (b. TA 2619 - d. TA 2699)
- Déor, (b. TA 2644 - d. TA 2718)
In TA 2699, King Goldwine died at the age of eighty, after a reign of nineteen years, and his son Déor, aged fifty-five, became King of Rohan. During Déor's reign, the Dunlendings began to cause trouble again, after Aldor had driven them out long before. Déor rode west to fight them, but in TA 2710 he learned that Gondor's fortress of Isengard had fallen under Dunlending rule. Isengard's defenses were strong and the Rohirrim were unable to mount a siege, so Déor had to accept for the time being a western threat to his realm.
Déor died in TA 2718 at the age of seventy-four, after a troublesome rule of nineteen years, and was succeeded by his son Gram.[1]
