The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim
Warning!
Spoilers for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim ahead!
It’s certainly amazing, though far beyond what Men ofThe Lord of the Ringsare typically capable of.
The Rohirrim king accepts, andwhile preparing for the weapon-free fight, he is seen removing a ring.
Helm may owe his immense strength to this ring inWar of the Rohirrim.
However,he might have thought that removing his ring would give Freca a fair chance at a fight.

Perhaps prolonged use of a Ring of Power impacted Helm’s strength more than he thought.
In fact, it might not have been one of Sauron’s Rings of Power at all.
Still, this doesn’t necessarily mean that Helm Hammerhand didn’t have a Ring of Power.

If Helm Hammerhand had a magical Ring that granted him strength, it could have come from virtually anywhere.
It mentionsthat Helm and Hera, by extension, were descendants of the “Ancient Men.
The Ancient Men mentioned inWar of the Rohirrimwere most likely thefirst Men (Edain)who awoke in Middle-earth.
These long lifespans continued into many of their descendants, including the Dunedain (like Aragorn).
It’s possible that Helm Hammerhand’s ancestry is why he is as strong as he is.
