Actually you're both right, there were two interregnums, and I didn't specify which one I was talking about...
Any of you can go!

Hint: Not the Isen

At what time? Cirion's gift to the Rohirrim was indeed bounded by the Isen on the west.

True, the Isen was part of the western border, but most of it was actually a northern border. The border that I'm talking about is, more specifically, a south-western border. And I don't mean the White Mountains either.

The bounds of the realm of Eorl were to be: in the West the river Angren from its junctio with the Adorn and thence northwards to the outer fences of Angrenost.
I would suppose you mean by south-west border the river Adorn.

The marriage between King Valacar and Vidumavi, the daughter of Vidugavia (a Northman). Valacar's son Eldacar was only of half-Gondorian descent, a fact that Castamir used to reclaim the throne.

Hundreds vs. one is hardly a battle. Hint: They never participated in the battle. Just ran right on by.

No, it was the whole troop of Isengarders. I put "fleed" in quotations because they really didn't flee, it just seemed like they did.
Think! This is Of Gondorians and Rohirrim.

You are both correct. I am giving it to Finwe, because he specified which Morwen. There were two, Morwen Fengel's wife and Morwen Tuor's mother.
