'''Aragost''' ({{TA|2431}}<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}, p. 196</ref> - {{TA|2588|n}}<ref name="North">{{App|North}}</ref>, age 157) was the eighth [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]], succeeding his father, [[Arahad I]], when he died in {{TA|2523|n}}.


Like his forefathers, he was raised by [[Elrond]] in [[Rivendell]] while his father [[Arahad I]] dwelt in the wild.
==History==
Aragost's rule was uneventful due to the enemy's forces being concentrated against [[Gondor]] and [[Rhovanion (region)|Rhovanion]]. Aragost died in 2588 - after having ruled for 65 years - and was followed by his son, [[Aravorn]].<ref name="North"/>


He became the [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] in 2523 at the death of his father. His rule was an uneventful one, as the attention of the enemy was focussed on [[Gondor]], where the [[Éothéod]] had settled the new realm of [[Rohan]].
==Etymology==
Aragost's name is never explained but it could mean [[Sindarin]] for "Royal Dread", from the prefix ''[[ar|ara-]]'' meaning "royal", and ''gost'' meaning "dread".


He died in 2588, and was followed by his son [[Aravorn]].
