==History==
Calmacil was the brother of [[Narmacil I]] whom he succeeded as King in [[Third Age 1294]].  
Calmacil was the father of [[Minalcar]], whom his indolent older brother, King [[Narmacil I]], bestowed upon him to be a [[Regent of Gondor|Regent]].


His reign lasted for ten years in which his son [[Minalcar]] continued his function as Regent (a function Calmacil had held previously during [[Narmacil I|Narmacil]]'s reign). It therefore would seem he never held any actual power.
When Narmacil died without heirs in {{TA|1294}}, Calmacil was too old to succeed him as King<ref name="South"/> so he continued to have his son Minalcar function as Regent<ref>{{App|Gondor}}</ref> until he was properly succeeded after his death.


In 1304 he died and was succeeded by Minalcar, taking the name [[Rómendacil II]].
