History
Hrethel was a Man and a Rider of Rohan during the Third Age.
Anticipating an attack on the capital of Edoras, Théoden King fled with the Rohirrim to the fortress of the Hornburg in Helm's Deep. When Aragorn reported that Saruman the White had sent a force of over ten thousand Uruk-hai to assail the Hornburg, Théoden ordered every man and strong boy able to bear arms to prepare for battle. Hrethel equipped himself with armour, a helmet and a spear. When the battle commenced, he hurled a spear at an Uruk.
