It’s well known that Tolkien’s own romance with his wife, Edith, was his inspiration for Lúthien and the romance (and tragedy) of Beren and Lúthien. (So much so that “Beren” and “Lúthien” are inscribed in their tombstones.)
But who was the muse for Éowyn of Rohan, a shield-maiden and the killer of the Witch King, and so critical to the story?
