'''Aragorn I''' ([[Sindarin]] for "Lord of the Tree", from ''[[orn]]'' = "tree") was the son of [[Aravir]], who succeeded his father to become [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]]. He ruled during the time known as the Watchful Peace, during which Sauron had withdrawn for a time into the the East of [[Middle-earth]]. [[Sauron]]'s retreat, though, did not mean that the Westlands were free of danger or evil, and even in those days [[Eriador]] was infested with wild wolves. After a few short years as Chieftain, it seems that Aragorn went out on a hunt, and fell prey to the wolves himself.

Aragorn I (T.A. 2227[1] - 2327,[2] died aged 100) was the son of Aravir, who succeeded his father to become the fifth Chieftain of the Dúnedain when his father died in 2319.

Life

Little is known of his reign as it was during the time of the Watchful Peace and few records have been kept of the Dúnedain of the North in this period of history. However, it is likely his rule was plagued with small battles to free the lands of evil, indeed Aragorn's life was cut short when he was killed by wild wolves in Eriador (which were always a peril in that land).[3]

Aragorn I was killed in T.A. 2327, after having ruled as Chieftain for only eight years, and was succeeded by his son Araglas.[2]

Etymology

Aragorn's name is Sindarin, and means "Revered King", from ara, a prefix for royalty, and gorn "revered". See also here.[4]
