Shortly after Theoden became king, Theoden's mind was poisoned by Grima. And Theoden had to do Saruman's evil desires. Gandalf later rescued Theoden. Shortly after Theoden recovered, Saruman attacked Rohan with a large army. Theoden won this battle, though difficult. Later, Theoden, along with his army, assisted Gondor, who was invaded by Sauron. Theoden was killed during the war in the year 3019 of the third age.
