Rotk question

[ann]

In RotK, didn't Theoden's horse fall on him and kill him when it was attacked by the Lord of the Nazgul?

[KGamgee]

Uhh, yeah I think....but I'll have to check.

[Foul_Dwimmerlaik]

Ah yes, one of my finest moments.

You're right, Ann. Theoden's horse did cause his death. They actually buried the horse, and wrote these words on the memorial stone:
Faithful servant yet master's bane,
Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane.
(in case anyone doesn't know, bane means "cause of one's harm, ruin, or death")

I get the feeling that the history of Middle-earth would have been very different if only your parents had given you a pony or something...:)
