Folcwine's Twin Heir - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't think that a dispute would have ensued, if both twins had remained alive. The Rohirrim all led quite dangerous lives, and they were prepared for death at all times. So most likely, one of the twins would have died before the other, and the surviving twin would have taken the throne. If both had remained alive, then I think that one of them would have given up his right to his brother.
