List of kings of Gondor
This is a list of the ruling kings of Gondor, one of the realms in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien.
==History==
The kings of Gondor through Amandil claimed descent from the Lords of Andúnië, and from there to Silmariën and the Kings of Númenor. The line of Kings began with Elendil, who fled the downfall of Númenor with his sons Isildur and Anárion and established the twin realms-in-exile of Arnor and Gondor. For several hundred years after its foundation, Gondor was ruled by the High-King of both Arnor and Gondor, but when Elendil and Isildur both perished early in the Third Age, the connection between the two kingdoms was severed and Gondor was ruled independently of Arnor. The Line of Kings in Gondor continued through the descendants of Anárion for over two thousand years, although through all this time the house suffered many tragic calamities and disasters such as the civil war of the Kin-Strife from TA 1432 to 1447 and the death of the King and his close family in the Great Plague of TA 1636. As well as these dire events which nearly brought about the end of the line, the Kings in Gondor also experienced a slow sullying of the blood of Númenor from which they were descended, through several generations of their heirs inter-marrying with the lesser men of Middle-Earth. During the reign of King Arvedui of the North Kingdom, there was an attempt to regain the close connection between the two kingdoms after King Ondoher of Gondor and his two childless sons were slain in battle with the Wainriders. Arvedui claimed the kingship of Gondor as the direct descendant of Isildur and also through being the husband of Fíriel, the only surviving child of Gondor's deceased King Ondoher. However, the claim was rejected by Gondor, where the captain who had defeated the Wainrider invaders had been instated as King Eärnil II. The line of Kings finally came to an end in TA 2050 when the last King of Gondor, Eärnur son of Eärnil II disappeared after riding to answer the challenges of the Witch-King in Minas Morgul, and thereafter Gondor was ruled by the Line of the Stewards until the return of King Aragorn II.
