Turambar (King of Gondor)

Turambar (Third Age 397 – Third Age 667, aged 270 years) was the ninth King of Gondor.

History

He inherited the crown early when his father Rómendacil I was killed during an Easterling invasion of northern Ithilien. Turambar sought vengeance for his father's death, and succeeded brilliantly. Not only did he destroy the horde, he continued his conquest into the lands of the Easterlings themselves, winning new territory in Rhûn for Gondor.

Because Turambar was young when he took the throne his rule lasted longer than a century. His was the longest reign of Gondor since that of his ancestor Meneldil. He was succeeded by his son Atanatar I.

Etymology

Turambar was the epithet of the great hero of the First Age, Túrin Turambar. It translates as "Master of Doom" from Quenya.
