Herugrim — Sword of King Théoden of Rohan | Lord of the Rings Replica Sword

Herugrim is described in Tolkien's writings as an heirloom of the royal house of Rohan — a sword with a lineage stretching back at least five centuries before the War of the Ring. When Gríma Wormtongue fell under the total influence of Saruman and began steering Théoden toward weakness and ruin, Herugrim was among the royal possessions Gríma took for himself. Its return to Théoden's hand — in Peter Jackson's The Two Towers — marks the precise moment the King reclaims his identity, his throne, and his people.

Herugrim's design reflects the martial culture of Rohan: a kingdom of horsemen descended from the Northmen of Rhovanion, whose aesthetic was defined by a fusion of migration-era Germanic and Anglo-Saxon influences. The blade engravings reference the runic traditions of the Rohirrim — a people who, unlike the Elves or Gondorians, did not use flowing Elvish script but carved angular, direct inscriptions into their arms and armour.
