Anyway I think this is of little consequence, relative to davem & company's arguments about what went on in Eowyn's head.
In my opinion, Haleth was a terrible leader, who caused a whole lot of unnecessary suffering to her people with her pride and her pointless quest to go ever more west. But that's another thread.
