Overview
Tolkien Gateway describes Háma demanding that visitors surrender their weapons at Edoras, yet permitting Gandalf to retain his staff. Théoden reprimands him, but he subsequently releases Éomer and arrests Gríma, recovering the king's sword.
He accompanies Théoden to the Hornburg and dies defending its gate. The king mourns him and casts the first earth into his separate grave. This account follows the literary history, rather than the film's different death.
