In briefanswer capsule

Baldor was the son of Brego, second king of Rohan. At the feast that opened the Golden Hall he swore a rash vow and passed the Door of the Dead beneath the Dwimorberg; he was never seen among men again. His bones were found by Aragorn's company on the Paths of the Dead five centuries later, close to the door that had refused him passage.
