++Eomer - The last attractive male on the show. How has he managed to stay so long?

Eru, it's a new specimen entirely! The Fickle Dwarf!

I owe no allegiance to Eomer.

Do not accost me with yours stereotypes of Dwarflihood!

Is no one going to strike out for the workers and join me in giving the gold-digging, leeching, penniless, hanging-on, obsolete, anachronistic disparaging aristocrat that is Gloin a healthy kick?

So tell me. How exactly do you square that with supporting an unelected monarch?

Eomer is most certainly elected; if in a similar way to the Reges Teutonicorum or the Kings of Scotland, or Hungary, or Sweden (or, for that matter, the President of the United States); i. e., the electors will tend to continue to support one dynasty barring really serious disaster. It is repeatedly asserted that the Rohirrim "put their trust in the House of Eorl", and that is why Eowyn is required to rule over them in her uncle's absence.

In addition, as a proto-Anglo-Saxon society it is almost certain that Eomer required the confirmation of some kind of Witanegamot body of elders in order to rule legally.
