Malvegil

Malvegil was the son of Celebrindor, and gained the kingship of Arthedain upon his father's death in Third Age 1272.

It was during Malvegil's reign (c. Third Age 1300) that the Witch-king saw an opportunity in the disunion of the Arnorians and he went to the North and founded Angmar. To this realm were drawn evil men, Orcs (who begin attacking the Dwarves), and other fell creatures. Due to the growing evils of the Misty Mountains, Hobbits moved westward and many of them settled in Bree.

Malvegil ruled Arthedain for seventy-seven years. He lived for two hundred and five years, longer than any of his descendants until Aragorn. He was succeeded by his son Argeleb I in Third Age 1349.

Malvegil is a Sindarin name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it means "Sword of Gold" and is a combination of malt ("gold") and the lenited form of megil ("sword").
