Battle of the Plains

The Battle of the Plains was a battle between Gondor, its Northmen allies, and the Wainrider invaders.
==History==
After five years of Easterlings ravaging eastern Gondor and the Northmen of Rhovanion, Gondor assembled a large army with many scattered remnants of Northmen allies under the leadership of Narmacil II. The King marched this host north from Ithilien to the open plains just south of Mirkwood, where they met their foe. However, Narmacil's great host was defeated, and the king killed.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B: The Tale of b

===Aftermath===
After the battle, the Northman noble Marhari involved in leading a rear-guard action against the enemy was slain. The survivors fled south over Dagorlad and back into Ithilien and Gondor was forced to abandon its eastern territories. The majority of the Northmen fell into slavery and those that did not withdrew further north over the River Running and into Dale, where they joined with the Men of Dale. Others gathered around Marhari's son Marhwini, who settled the Vales of Anduin between Mirkwood and the river Anduin with fugitives slaves from Rhovanion, who joined with them later. These survivors and refugees would later become the Éothéod, an ally of Gondor.
The loss at the plains ultimately led to the later creation of the Rohirrim, out of the Éothéod, the survivors of the battle. These warrior-folk would maintain friendship with Gondor and centuries later would take the Oath of Eorl, and settle the Gondor province of Calenardhon, later named Rohan, and remain an eternal ally of Gondor and the eventual Reunited Kingdom.
