Eorl was ruler of the Northmen tribe of the Éothéod, who dwelt between the Gladden[?] and the Carrock rivers.
The most reknowned fact in his reign was his unexpected arrival in the perilous Battle of the Field of Celebrant[?] to the aid of Gondor.
He may be recognized as the true victor of this battle and was granted lands in Calenardhon[?] by Cirion[?], Steward of Gondor[?]. He led the migration of his people to these great pastures and there he became the first King of Rohan. He than swore the Oath of Eorl[?] to Cirion.
He was called the Young because at the start of his reign he was in his youth and retained it throughout his reign.
The Rohirrim[?] call themselves the Eorlingas, the Sons of Eorl.
He died in battle in the Wold against the Easterlings.
