If Theoden had four sisters, what happened to the other three besides Theodred? They are never mentioned, nor are their names given. It's possible that one of them might have died early, or even two, but all three? Their lack of descendants can perhaps be reasonably explained (if only one besides Theodred survived childhood, perhaps she died in childbirth with the child), but this is still rather odd. Opinions?
