W is for Walda.

Walda ~ From 2842 - 2851 Third Age, the twelfth King of Rohan, third of the Second Line of the Mark. He had been King only nine years when he was trapped and slain by Orcs in the mountains near Dunharrow. His son Folca mounted a great campaign against the Orcs and succeeded in driving them from the Mark.

The Tolkien Companion pg. 509

Poor Walda. If I had his name I'd want to be trapped and slain by Orcs! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
