Finally got time to dig deeper! His name was Marhwini son of Marhari.
Bruce have lectured me [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] and I here takes the oppotunity to briefly enlighten others on the matter:

An éored was the name for any body of riders. Marhwini was said to have led 'a great éored' but it was not until King Folcwine of the Mark that a 'Full éored' got the fixed number of 'at least' 120 riders including the captain. The éored was at that time (some 100 years before WoTR) considered to be one 100th of a full Muster of the Mark.
