Folca the Hunter

The eldest son and heir of King Walda, Folca succeeded his father as the thirteenth King of Rohan in T.A. 2851. It was an unexpectedly early rise to the throne, for Walda died in an Orc ambush near Dunharrow after ruling only nine years. Folca was born in T.A. 2804, ruling until his death in T.A. 2864.Folca was an exceptional hunter who rooted out the last of the Orcs in the Riddermark, thereby avenging his father's slaying. Soon after, he went on a hunt in the Firien Wood and slew the great boar of Everholt, but the beast mortally wounded him with its sharp tusks.
