When they meet Eomer they have cleared 45 leagues, which would be about 135 miles by Tolkien's league. Tolkien writes that they rest twice on the first day and sleep on the first night, I don't believe he goes into detail after that, but we are left to assume they probably follow the same pattern, then they get horses from the Rohirrim on the fourth day. Aragorn doesn't really beat the Nazgul, it's more a feat of bravery than of skill or ability, as most men succumb to fear from the black breath at the sight of them.Īragorn even states that the main reason they fled was because they had expected no resistance and thought their mission was complete anyway as the ring bearer would soon die.Īlso, Lurtz didn't exist in the books and they don't run for three days and nights without stopping. I feel the need to point out that in the books Aragorn only defeated the Nazgul because they were far weaker than they would be at their peak (Circa Pelennor fields), plus the Barrow Blades and the fire from both the camp and Aragorn's logs scared them and blocked their vision, Frodo was also chanting Elbereth, their ancient enemy and a name which is deadly to the Nazgul. However, they come out victorious, and end up routing the leaderless force.Īrthur's knights also end up fighting giants (Sir Pellas in book one, Lancelot in book seven, IIRC), other knights (tournaments, duels, jousts, and other such combat is common throughout the books), and leading in war (Book two is the war in which Arthur conquers most of Europe and Rome itself).ĭoes someone else want to take up Arthur's cause? I'm trying to see other's thoughts. In Book one, he leads his knights against an alliance of five kings rebelling against him, and ends up meeting them with three of his knights, all of whom are younger and less experienced. In addition, upon landing in Normandy, he fights a giant in single combat, and the fight is given blow-by-blow, of how he killed it fairly effortlessly. Well, I'm not sure scans of comics exist, considering that Le Morte goes back to the 1500's, but in book two, when Arthur is told to pay tribute to the Roman Emperor Lucius, he goes to war with Lucius, conquering most of Europe. ![]()
