Post one if you wish
Actually one of them is actually not that important, since it is common to many more.

Well, Eorl Young would be the answer, since Eorl-Théoden and Meneldil-Romendacil is both 17th kings in the line after each other.

Ok, you've got two, first they were kings of the both kingdom, and the gap between them.
But the third is in my opinion the hardest one, so whoever gets that should ask next.

And are you sure it's not actually a "what do they have in common"-type question? Is it really something that makes a bridge between Eorl and Théoden and the same way between Meneldil and Rómendacil? I mean, isn't that like defeating an army - defeating another similar army later / defeating an army - defeating another similar army later? (if you understand what I mean)

Yes I understand what you mean, and no, that's not the case.

Wasn't it, like, after Eorl&Meneldil the other were in the second line of kings after one breaking of the line? I mean there was a childless king in Gondor, while with the death of Helm there started also second line of kings in Rohan. This theory has some flaws, though, since there were actually two childless kings in Gondor before Rómendacil II and on the other hand in Rohan, there were "uncounted" movings from firstborn son to another's son like in the case of Brego but also Fengel, so whatever I do, the numbers don't fit...
