Battles of the Fords of Isen

The Battles of the Fords of the Isen were several conflicts that occurred on the Fords of Isen, the main entry to Rohan from the west.

• There were two battles between Saruman and Rohan during the War of the Ring:
• — The First Battle of the Fords of Isen was on 25 February Third Age 3019. Its main objective seems to have been to kill Prince Théodred (in which Saruman succeeded).
• — The Second Battle of the Fords of Isen was on 2 March where Saruman finally won passage over the river, beating a heavily outnumbered army of Rohirrim under Grimbold and Elfhelm.
• A battle also happened in Third Age 2758 between Dunlendings under Wulf and Rohirrim under Helm. Wulf was successful in invading Rohan.
