Kings of Arnor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of Kings of Arnor from the fictional universe of Middle-earth novels by J. R. R. Tolkien.
The Kings of Arnor through Amandil claimed descent from the Lords of Andúnië, and from there to Silmariën and the Kings of Númenor. Elendil and Isildur were the High Kings of Gondor and Arnor, but after Isildur's reign the realms were split.
- Elendil, son of Amandil. He reigned from 3320–3441 S.A.
- Isildur reigned S.A. 3441–T.A. 2
- Valandil r. T.A. 2–249
- Eldacar r. 249–339
- Arantar r. 339–435
- Tarcil r. 435–515
- Tarondor r. 515–602
- Valandur r. 602–652
- Elendur r. 652–777
- Eärendur r. 777–861, last King of Arnor.
[edit] Kings of Arthedain
After Eärendur, the realm of Arnor was split between his three sons, founding the realms of Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur: the elder line of Kings continued with the Kings of Arthedain.
In 1349 T.A. the descendants of Eärendur had died out in Cardolan and Rhudaur, and Argeleb I of Arthedain again claimed the title King of Arnor. The Kings of Arthedain were then added to the elder list of Kings. Argeleb, 7th King of Arthedain, is thus referred to as the 17th of the Kings of Arnor, and Arvedui was the 25th and last King of the Northern Line.
- Amlaith, eldest son of Eärendur, tenth King of Arnor. Reigned 861 T.A.–946 T.A.
- Beleg reigned 946–1029
- Mallor r. 1029–1110
- Celepharn r. 1110–1191
- Celebrindor r. 1191–1272
- Malvegil r. 1272–1349
- Argeleb I r. 1349–1356
- Arveleg I r. 1356–1409
- Araphor r. 1409–1589
- Argeleb II r. 1589–1670
- Arvegil r. 1670–1743
- Arveleg II r. 1743–1813
- Araval r. 1813–1891
- Araphant r. 1891–1964
- Arvedui r. 1964–1975, Last King of the North Kingdom.
After Arvedui the North Kingdom was no more, and the line of Kings continued in the Chieftains of the Dúnedain, the Rangers of the North. Arnor was later revived as a part of the Reunited Kingdom and came under the rulership of the Kings of the Reunited Kingdom.
