How many names are used twice in the lines of stewards? Don't count a name if it is used once in the line of stewards and once elsewhere.

White Tree

Húrin I & II
Túrin I & II
Ecthelion I & II
Denethor I & II

That makes four names used by two Stewards of Gondor. I believe that is all.

Neither are correct. Remember, Stewards doesn't have to mean ruling steward; I'm only looking for names used exactly twice; 'the line of stewards' also means their descendants.

Turin, Ecthelion, Denethor, Belecthor, Boromir and Barahir. Hurin was used thrice.

I think I most be the most forgetful person on this forum. I'VE DONE IT AGAIN! Once again I had a great question, but as usual it's gone when I get here.

Name ten rohirrim that died on the Fields of Pelennor.

Theoden, Harding, Guthlaf, Dunhere, Deorwine, Grimbold, Herefara, Herubrand, Horn, and Fastred, because Elfhelm did not die on the Fields of Pelennor. Although Samwise is still correct.

Samwise, like symestreem said, you only have nine. Elfhelm didn't die there. So symestreem, it's your turn.

I was searching for a hard one, but I couldn't find any, so anyway:

Who were involved in the three unions between the Eldar and the Edain??
