King Théoden’s hall in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Rohan is called Meduseld.
Meduseld stands in Edoras, the hilltop capital of Rohan. The name comes from Old English elements meaning “mead hall,” reflecting Tolkien’s use of Germanic and Old English cultural material when shaping the Rohirrim and their society.
The hall is the seat of Rohan’s king and the setting for important scenes in The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli arrive there while Théoden is under the influence of Gríma Wormtongue and the wizard Saruman’s manipulation.
Meduseld is sometimes confused with Edoras because the two names are closely connected. Edoras is the city or settlement, while Meduseld is the royal hall within it. Minas Tirith is the principal city of Gondor, and Isengard is the fortified place associated with Saruman.
