Eärendil (King of Gondor)

Eärendil (Q "sea-friend", pron. [ˌe.aˈrendil]; Third Age 48 – Third Age 324, aged 276 years) was the fifth King of Gondor, ruling for 86 years, from Third Age 238 until his death.

Other versions of the legendarium

In The Peoples of Middle-earth, Section VII "The Heirs of Elendil", it was explained that three manuscripts existed in the textual history of this section. Manuscript A contained the Southern Line of Gondor, and appeared to be the first stage of composition. Manuscript B added the Northern Line, and began as a fair copy of A for the Southern line but became heavily emended. Manuscript B led to Manuscript C, a fine copy (but with later emendations), which led to a final typescript D. In the earlier Manuscripts A and B, Eärendil lived from 40 to 316 instead of Third Age 48 to Third Age 324.
