Herugrim

Herugrim
Background Information
Owner(s)	King of Rohan

"Háma knelt and presented to Théoden a long sword in a scabbard clasped with gold and set with green gems"

—The Two Towers, "The King of the Golden Hall"

Herugrim was an ancient sword, an heirloom of the royalty in Rohan.

History

At the time of King Théoden, the sword was at least five hundred years old. (When Gandalf and Aragorn point out the burial mounds outside Edoras, Legolas says, "500 times have the red leaves fallen in Mirkwood in my home since then.") It was at last passed to Théoden, the last king of the second line in Rohan; who won victory with it at Helm's Deep, and died with it in his hand on the Pelennor Fields, outside of Minas Tirith, while aiding Gondor in its plight.

Under the influence of Gríma Wormtongue's leechcraft, Théoden had entrusted the blade to him for safekeeping, but Wormtongue hid it away and allowed it to rust. After Gandalf restored Théoden to himself, Háma the door warden found the sword locked in Gríma's chest.^{[citation needed]}

In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the sword is adorned with two gleaming horses' heads touching noses above the grip; the book describes it as "a long sword in a scabbard clasped with gold and set with green gems." Théoden wields the sword in his left hand in the films.
