I'm surprised you folks didn't chastise me for messing up the numbering of the Years after 3021, the last of the Third Age! Shame on me. I've gone back and corrected those.

As for "queen" Elfhild, I didn't notice that discrepancy of Tolkien's, but there are lots of those in the book*. Tolkien does give two references to Théodred's age: he is 13 years older than Éomer (& Éomer's birth year is given in the Tale of Years) and he was 24 years old when Théoden takes in Éomer & Éowyn.

* example: Sam's birth year using the The Tale of Years (2983 T.A.) vs. The Longfather Tree of Master Samwise (S.R. 1380).
