| '''Herucalmo''' was the consort to [[Tar-Vanimeldë]], the third [[Ruling Queen of Númenor|Ruling Queen]] of [[Númenor]]. The Queen had little interest in the duties of her office, and during her reign Herucalmo effectively acted as her regent. On Tar-Vanimeldë's death, the [[Sceptre]] should have passed to her son [[Tar-Alcarin|Alcarin]], but instead Herucalmo withheld it and claimed the [[King of Númenor|Kingship]] for himself, taking the name [[Tar-Anducal]] ("Light of the West") from [[Second Age 2637|S.A. 2637]] to [[Second Age 2657|S.A. 2657]]. The island of Númenor fell under his doubtful rule for twenty years, until Herucalmo himself died, and Alcarin took his rightful place.
