Náin the "not-numbered".

Aha

Maybe that their sons lead their people in important battles
Dain II, son of Nain in the Battle of Dale
Eomer, son of Eomund in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, and later at the Black Gate
Bandobras, son of Isumbras III in the Battle of Greenfields

Yes, yes, good way, though it is not exactly what I had in mind, could you be somewhat more concrete? There is something yet more concrete.

The Might · 04-07-2007, 08:07 AM

Ok, another idea
Each of them had a child that killed the leader of the opposing force in battle.
Eowyn, daughter of Eomund, killed (reduced to impotence) the Witch-king
Dain II, son of Nain, killed Azog
Bandobras, son of Isumbras III, killed Golfimbul

Not exactly. This is very close - though not exactly what I had in mind. The Eomund part is the hardest, probably, but the thing the persons have in common is very, very, very specific. Not just "they killed some leader" but something very concrete.

I've got it...maybe that they killed these leaders with one blow

Umm, no, no, if you want to hear it, Éowyn is not correct in the answer.
