Brego was the second King of Rohan.
Biography[]
Brego was born in TA 2512, the only child of Eorl the Young. When Eorl was slain in battle in TA 2545, Brego became King of Rohan. During his rule, the settling of the Éothéod in Rohan continued, and Brego defended the borders of Rohan against their enemies (the Dunlendings and Easterlings). Brego built the Golden Hall of Meduseld, and made Edoras the capital of Rohan. Construction of the Golden Hall was completed in TA 2569.[1]
Brego had three sons:
- Baldor, his eldest son and heir, who swore an oath at the dedication feast of the Golden Hall to successfully traverse the Paths of the Dead. Baldor, consumed by his honor and pride, refused to break his vow to take the Dimholt road and went into the Paths of the Dead, never to be seen again.
- Aldor, his second son, who succeeded Brego and became the third King of Rohan.
- Éofor, his youngest son, was a distant ancestor of Éomund of Eastfold, father of King Éomer.
Brego's grief over the loss of Baldor consumed him and left him a broken man. Having lost the will to live, he died the following year in TA 2570 at the age of fifty-eight. Brego was succeeded by his son Aldor.[2]
Trivia[]
In Peter Jackson's films The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Aragorn rides a horse named Brego, apparently named after this king. According to Éowyn, this horse originally belonged to Théodred.
