The Crowns of Seven Kings - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Legolas · 01-11-2003, 12:46 AM

Saruman was given the keys to Orthanc by Beren, Steward of Gondor, after Fréaláf had been crowned King of the Mark, beginning the Second Line of Kings in Rohan.

Afterwards followed seven kings: Brytta, Walda, Folca, Folcwine, Fengel, and Theoden. The friendship of seven kings Saruman had betrayed, though they trusted him as "a lieutenant of the Steward and warden of the tower."

Likewise, he was also betraying the friendship of seven Stewards of Gondor, as Gondor still considered Isengard its own and not as a part of Rohan: Beren, Beregrond, Belecthor II, Turin II, Turgon, Ecthelion II, and Denethor II.

The theory of Saruman doing away with the Blue Wizards has been discussed here before.
