Lord of the Éothéod

From Tolkien Gateway

The Lord of the Éothéod[1][2][3] was the hereditary ruler of the Éothéod, the horsemen of the North. The Lords of the Éothéod were descended from the Kings of Rhovanion.[4] With the formation of Rohan in T.A. 2510, the title was abandoned in favor of "King of the Mark".[5][6]
