The "Northmen" who moved to the Vale of Anduin had once ruled Rhovanion and lived in the lands east of Mirkwood.   Valacar, 20th King of Gondor, married Vidumavi, daughter of King Vidugavia; their son, Vinitharya / Eldacar, was 21st King of Gondor (see the Kings of Gondor).   A number of Northmen had joined with the armies of Gondor during conflicts with Easterlings.   They were also related to the Beornings & other "North-Men" of the Vale of Anduin & Dale who resisted The Shadow and were thus loosely allied against Easterlings, Orcs, etc.   Following the fall of Angmar (TA 1975) Frumgar led the Eotheod (Horse-people) north, away from the ravages of the Easterlings, to the confined area between the Langwell & Greylin below the Ered Mithrin & Misty Mountains.
