Riddle Help

[tuormo]

Anyone got an answer for these 2 riddles? Any help would be greatly
appreciated and if/when I get the right answer I will post to verify
them. Thanks in advance.


Named in Numenorean form
he led seven hundred into the besieging storm.
A mighty warrior on field and before gate,
Prince he, his daughter king-wed by fate.



In a forest lived he
as hearty as the proverbial tree.
During the struggle he helped as he could
but, in the end, he did as he would.

* I agree this is Imrahil- His daughter wed Eomer after the War of
the Ring and he did bring 700 knights to Minas Tirith for The Battle
of Pellenor Fields.

This one was bandied about on the forums. Both Radagast and Tom
Bombadil were incorrect answers. Someone did mention Ghan-buri-ghan
which seems to fit quite well.

Bombadil and Radagast dont quite fit in my point of view bwcause of the last line. I believe that the answer is someone that eventually died, for it says : but in the end, he did as he would.

But i dont have a clue to which is the answer. I thought treebeard, but he also didnt die, as far as i remember. Maybe Haldir, for his help in Helms deep ? But an elf is hardly "hearty"....

The elves in Helm's Deep was purely a creation of Peter Jackson.
They, including Haldir, had nothing to do with the battle in
Tolkien's text. The purist in me is really irked by Jackson's
derivation but hey, all in all a good set of films.

Another thought; could it be Treebeard?
