Findegil is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
The chapter seems straightforward. I have not much comment on:
HE-SL-09 & HE-SL-10: I think we should mix these additions a bit more.
Quote:
HE-SL-08<Appendix A Aldor the Old {- He} was Brego's second son. He became known as the Old, since he lived to a great age, and was king for 75 years. In his time the Rohirrim increased, and drove out or subdued the last of the Dunlendish people that lingered east of Isen HE-SL-09<BFI Appendix (ii) and the Fords of Isen were guarded>. Harrowdale and other mountain-valleys were settled. HE-SL-9.5<BFI Appendix (ii){But under Brego and Aldor the Dunlendings were rooted out again and driven away beyond the Isen, and the Fords of Isen were guarded.} Thus the Rohirrim earned the hatred of the Dunlendings, which was not appeased until the return of the King, then far off in the future. Whenever the Rohirrim were weak or in trouble the Dunlendings renewed their attacks.
>Of the next three kings little is said, for Rohan had peace and prospered in their time.>
HE-SL-10b<BFI Appendix (ii) No alliance of peoples was ever more faithfully kept …
Respectfully
