This is a list of High Kings of Arnor from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. ==High Kings of Arnor== The High Kings of Arnor claimed descent from the Lords of Andúnië through Amandil, 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 although the Northern line continued to use the title of High King of Arnor. # Elendil, son of Amandil. He reigned from # Isildur reigned S.A. 3441– # 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 High King of Arnor. *Elendil: *Isildur: *: High King of Arnor, reigning from T.A. 2 to 249. His name probably means "devoted to the Valar". He was born in S.A. 3430 and was the fourth son of Prince Isildur,the son of King Elendil.His grandfather Elendil died fighting against Sauron and his father, Isildur, killed Sauron. Later, his elder brothers were killed by Orcs at the Gladden Fields along with their father. Valandil and his mother were in Rivendell when news of the fall of Isildur reached them. After this disaster Valandil inherited the High Kingship over the Dúnedain. Because he was still a child when his father was killed, he had no power in Gondor where his older cousin Meneldil was left by Isildur to rule. In any case Valandil never made any attempt to reclaim the southern crown, thereby perhaps inadvertently strengthening Meneldil's claim for the throne and splitting the kingdom. The title of High King did remain with Valandil and his heirs. For the first eight years of his reign he remained in Rivendell being tutored by Lord Elrond. In T.A 10 Valandil went to Arnor and took up the sceptre of Annúminas and the rule of his kingdom. In that city he dwelt in peace until his death in T.A. 249, and was succeeded by his son Eldacar. *: Born in T.A. 87, he ascended the throne of Arnor in T.A. 249 on the death of his father Valandil, he was the grandson of Isildur. He should not be confused with his more famous namesake, Eldacar of Gondor. His reign was without any event and he died in T.A. 339 and was succeeded by his son Arantar. *: Born in T.A. 185, he ascended the throne of Arnor in T.A. 339 on the death of his father Eldacar. He was the great-grandson of Isildur. His reign was without any event and he died in T.A. 435 and was succeeded by his son Tarcil. *: Born in T.A. 280. and ascended the throne of Arnor in 435 T.A. on the death of his father Arantar; he was the great-great-grandson of Isildur. His reign was without event and he died in T.A. 515 and was succeeded by his son Tarondor. The name Tarcil (also spelt Tarkil) also appears in ''The History of The Lord of the Rings'' as another nickname for Aragorn: its meaning is apparently "High Man", a synonym for Dúnadan. The Orcish term "tark" for a Dúnadan is a related word. *: Born in T.A. 372 and ascended the throne of Arnor in T.A. 515 on the death of his father Tarcil. He should not be confused with Tarondor of Gondor, who reigned much later in the Third Age. His reign was without any notable event and he died in T.A. 602 and was succeeded by his son Valandur. *: Born in T.A. 462 and ascended the throne of Arnor in T.A. 602 on the death of his father Tarondor. He was killed in hostilities in T.A. 652, but the exact circumstances of his death are unknown. Succeeded by his son, Elendur in T.A. 652. *: Born in T.A. 552, he ascended the throne of Arnor in T.A. 652 after the violent death of his father Valandur. He died in T.A. 777, and was followed by his son Eärendur, the last King of a united Arnor. *: Son of Elendur, born in T.A. 640 and ascended the throne of Arnor in T.A. 777 after the death of his father. He died in T.A. 861. Eärendur had three sons, who all claimed the throne. To prevent civil war, the Kingdom of Arnor was split in the three parts Arthedain, Cardolan, and Rhudaur. His oldest son Amlaith became the first King of Arthedain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of kings of Arnor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
