Walda

Walda was the twelfth King of Rohan.
== Biography ==
Walda was born in TA 2780 and was the son of Brytta Léofa. As Prince of Rohan, he served in the army and helped to defend the realm from the Orcs that tried to invade Rohan during King Brytta's reign. After his father's death in TA 2842, Walda succeeded to the throne at the age of sixty-two.
Some Orcs remained in Rohan, however; and nine years later after his succession in TA 2851, Walda was killed during an Orc attack in Dunharrow. His son Folca then became King and avenged his death.
With a reign of only nine years, King Walda has the shortest reign of all the recorded Kings of Rohan.
== Other versions of the legendarium ==
In Tolkien's earlier works, the eleventh King of Rohan, Walda's father, was initially named Brego, then Hama.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. VIII: The War of the Ring, Part Three: Minas Tirith, XII: "The Last Debate"
