Ecthelion, I'm as confused as you are that the name hasn't been taken yet, it's a great one! I, also, didn't have any problem with my name being taken. You can imagine my surprise.
fredonia, for many a dastardly tale of Elven materialism, take up the nearest copy of The Silmarillion and enjoy! The role of Erkenbrand and other Marshals of Rohan is explained in Unfinished Tales, also a good read. Erkenbrand was the Lord of Harrowdale in the Westfold. After the death of Théodred he assumed command of all the western half of Rohan.
