Vidumavi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vidumavi (?-1344) is a fictional character of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium.

She is the daughter of Vidugavia, the King of Rhovanion. She married the Gondorian King Valacar when he was on a diplomatic mission in Rhovanion.

She was, as the Dúnedain of Gondor feared, shortlived (dying in 1344 of the Third Age, before Valacar became king), but she succeeded in bearing Valacar a son, the future King Eldacar. Because of Eldacar's short-lived, non-Dúnadan mother, many Gondorians were unwilling to accept him as king, leading to the disastrous Kin-strife.

She was also known by the name Galadwen.
