Could it have something to do with the fact that the ones who were to rule after the latter ones (Rómendacil's son Valacar and Éomer who was in reign after Théoden) both wedded someone from other folk, though I don't see how it relates to Eorl&Meneldil. With Eorl, it could be that Théoden's successor married someone of the folk whom Eorl once helped, but I fail to see such a connection between Meneldil&Rómendacil.

No, no, not this
I suggest concentrating on Eorl/Theoden
Here it is more obvious, the others have this in common as well however

From the start I thought about the covenant of Eorl&Cirion fulfilled by Théoden, to this adds much the fact that even Meneldil was on Amon Anwar and was present at the time of building Elendil's tomb. However, Rómendacil II. does not have anything to do with it as far as I am aware - perhaps Rómendacil I., who wrote some edict concerning the "sacred place", but this does not have anything in common with fulfiling anything or not...

Just tell me if I am overlooking something or if I am completely wrong on this path.

You're wrong...
Let ,e just put it this way, it's only linked to their lives

Okay pal---

what about a little hint here?

I think I read all I could about all four of them, well, maybe except all the TT&RotK about Théoden from the moment he appears, but I still can't find anything that would make them connected that way you present it.

Well, it's definitely linked to their lives!
Life...

I suppose it's not such a stupid thing like that they all ruled till the day they died

I must be really dumb lately. First that Borondir thing, now I am really curious what the answer on this will be. "You had better go to bed, your wits are sleepy."
