My answer would be Thrain and Dain

Thrain - Thorin (oakenshield)

Nain - Dain (Ironfoot) - I think


Now Azog also had a son "Bolg" but I don't think he took part of the battle. . .infact I can only remember him being mentioned in the battle of 5 armies.

Sorry, Rune, but Bolg was at the Battle of Five Armies. He got killed by Beorn.

I was not wrong at all!

I just answered the wrong question. . .

For some reason I managed to confuse which battle you where talking about, so I gave the correct answer to what I thought you asked, but not to what you actually asked.

Okay, to get something going.

Name at least five battles in which Hobbits were present. (Who makes it six or more, gets a big invisible plus.)

Well done. Not hard, was it...

By the way, when I spoke of six, apart from those you named, I was thinking of the Battle of Fornost...

Take the thread, Rune!

EDIT: x-ed. Okay, Mnemo, you get the big invisible plus I promised

I just got to think about these: battle of Isengard and I guess they must also have taken part of "the war of the last alliance". . . didn't all races participate?

Well, practically there really never was any "battle of Isengard". Ents just came and destroyed whatever they found, while some remaining Orcs or Dunlendings were running away screaming or drowning, and Saruman also ran away. The only thing they fought against was at one point the liquid fire of Orthanc. Not sure if it qualifies as a "proper" battle.

And for the Last Alliance, that's an interesting question - probably, at least on first sight, not (maybe it even says somewhere that there were just "Elves, Men and Dwarves" - at least I recall somewhere it's enumerated how Dwarves fought on both sides, but just very few of them. Hence, who knows. Also, the Hobbits didn't play any important role until 3rd Age. On the other hand, they could have been omitted from the records, as Merry and Pippin pointed out to Treebeard. Okay, enough rant ).

Then why does the battle of the peak count? only two beings was involved in that, less than when the ents attacked.

Anyways I don't recall any battle called "dimrill dale"

Oh sorry, "which battle" was the question. Battle of Azanulbizar.

As for Battle of the Peak... I guess it counts only because it was called "battle"

Correct. . .

Surely it should have been named "The Brawl of the Peak"

The Eye

Hmm, actually the Battle of the Peak never really took place: the name was invented by Gandalf when he was speaking about what if somebody saw the battle, how they could make songs about it. And he demented even that rightaway, saying that even people who saw it won't be able to discern it from a raging thunderstorm. Hm, certainly it seems that it was epic enough for a battle, though.

Anyway... let's make another question, then... name four places, which have been besieged (or basically, which were the target location of an army involved in a battle for it) for one, two, three and four times. Neither of these places can belong to the same race! I.e. if you say for example a Dwarven city that has been besieged for one time, then for the places assailed for two, three or four times you need to find places which did not belong to the Dwarves. Mixed defenders count together as another, separate race (i.e. you can include for example a Dwarven city 1x, a different mixed Dwarf-Hobbit city 2x, a Hobbit city 3x etc. But personally I doubt you will find many chances to use this rule). Minor characters appearing in the siege, such as one random Elf among ten thousand Dwarves, of course do not count among the "defender race".

So I want four names from you, you can include the race and the number of battles of this place in brackets after it or something like that.

Only one Hobbit was present at the Battle of Five Armies, so Hobbits were not present.

Anyway, to the question at hand:

Greenfields (Hobbits) - Once (Orcs defeated by the Bullroarer)
Erebor (Dwarves) - Twice (The Battle of Five Armies and during the War of the Ring)
Lothlorien (Elves) - Thrice (Three attacks during the War of the Ring)
Osgiliath (Men) - Four times (Last Alliance, the Kinslaying, when the east bank was lost and finally when it was overrun during the War of the Ring).

Very nice and well done I was partially leaving it open to see what examples people are going to use, nice that you remembered Erebor, I was wondering if people are going to use it. Of course Lórien was obvious, that was what made me think of the question in the first place. Your turn.

Question

Thank you Legate.

So, next question:

Name six battles with the name of a river in their title.

Ok...

Battle of Bywater
Battle of the Crossings of Erui
Battle of the Gwathló
First Battle of the Fords of Isen
Second Battle of the Fords of Isen
Battle of the Field of Celebrant

I hope separating the battles of the Fords of Isen isn't cheating.

I wanted originally to ask the same question I presumed not, though since I couldn't make it six (I have been also wondering if Bywater counts), I decided not to ask until I know at least something more

Most certainly not. They were two separate battles. The thread is yours.

I somehow forgot to ask a new one back then, so I'll do so now:

Which item once owned by a dragon was part of the Battle of Bywater?

The horn of the Mark, originally taken from Scatha's treasure by the ancestors of Rohirrim (resp. Fram and his heirs).

Meh... and I expected this to be a bit more difficult.
Your turn, of course.
