Fíriel

Fíriel was wed to prince Arvedui of Arnor in Third Age 1940 when Arvedui's father Araphant made an alliance with Ondoher. The alliance proved fruitless, however. Neither side could send help to the other as both Kingdoms came under attack: Arnor by Angmar and Gondor by the Wainriders.

During the Disaster of the Morannon, Ondoher and his sons Artamir and Faramir were killed, which meant that according to the Law of Númenor, Fíriel should have become the Ruling Queen. Arvedui referred to this ancient law, as well as the fact that he was a direct descendant of Isildur, as arguments to claim the crown of Gondor, but he was refused.

Fíriel remained with her husband in the north, though her fate in the fall of Arthedain was never recorded. She did have a son, Aranarth, who continued the line of Isildur and Anárion.

However, approximately more than a millennium after her death, the Crown of Gondor finally returned to her descendants at the end of the War of the Ring when her descendant Aragorn son of Arathorn II, claimed the Crown of Gondor as the King Elessar Telcontar.

Fíriel is Quenya for "mortal woman".
