INTRODUCTION
The actual ages in the Lord of the Rings series state that King Théoden was 70 when he died in the battle for Minas Tirith. As I found that a little difficult to believe I have duly adjusted the ages of some of the characters. Below are the ages of the characters in the year Frodo discovers he has the One Ring, which is the T.A 3018.
Théoden- 55
Théodred- 32
Éomer- 30
Lydn- 28
Éowyn- 26
And below is a quick time line for this story (while there are a few accurate parts [*] most of what is below has been slightly adjusted):
T.A 2963- Théoden is born
T.A 2986- Prince Théodred is born and the King's wife Elfhild dies in labor
T.A 2988- Éomer is born
T.A 2990- Lydn is born
T.A 2992- Éowyn is born
T.A 2999- Éomund, the father of Éomer and Éowyn, dies. His wife Théodwyn dies of grief shortly after. Éomer, Éowyn, and Lydn are taken into the care of Théoden and move to Edoras.
T.A 3001*- Frodo inherits the One Ring and Bag End from Bilbo
T.A 3014*- Gríma Wormtongue becomes the King's Chief Counselor.

If any of you wish to check my source for where I received the above correct information please visit Tolkien Gateway and then click Timeline. There you will find the timelines for all of LOTR, including those before the First Age. Click Third Age and then either Frodo Baggins' timeline or Aragorn's Timeline.
Beyond the creation of my character and her interactions with others, I own nothing created by Tolkien, which includes persons, words, or places.
Again I offer my sincerest thanks for reading this and I hope that you enjoy and please, my lovely readers- REVIEW!
