Cemendur (S.A. 3399[1] – T.A. 238,[2] aged 280 years) was the fourth King of Gondor.
History
Cemendur ruled for 80 years, from T.A. 158 until his death. He was the son and successor of Meneldil, the first ruler of Gondor to rule in his own name.[2]
Little is known about his reign, only that it was a peaceful one. He was succeeded by his son Eärendil.
Etymology
Cemendur is Quenya for "Earth-servant", from kemen and -ndur.[3]
Robert Foster, perhaps incorrectly, translates the name as "Earth Lord".[4]
