Biography
Fréaláf was born in TA 2726 and was the son of the noblewoman Hild, the sister of Helm Hammerhand and an unnamed father. When Rohan was invaded by the Dunlendings led by Wulf, he and other survivors fled towards the refuges in Dunharrow. It was from there that Fréaláf planned an attack to regain Edoras.
When the Long Winter ended, Fréaláf and the surviving Rohirrim made their move. They came down from the safety of Dunharrow with a small force of men and regained Edoras, personally killing Wulf. Then, with the aid of a force from Gondor, the Rohirrim eventually drove the Dunlendings back across the River Isen, blockading Isengard into surrender.

Because King Helm and his sons were all killed in the war, Fréaláf, the king's nephew, became the first king of the second line. At his coronation, the wizard Saruman suddenly appeared, wooing the king with gifts and offering him his support and friendship. On Fréaláf's advice, Beren the Steward of Gondor bestowed Saruman with the Keys of Orthanc, giving him Isengard to dwell in on the condition that he must protect it from another conquest by the Dunlendings. During this time, he had the body of Helm recovered from the Hornburg and buried in the ninth mound of the Kings of Rohan in the Barrowfield, and presided over the restoration of Rohan.
Fréaláf ruled for thirty-nine years, he died in TA 2798 at the age of seventy-two and was succeeded by his son Brytta Léofa.[1]
