Prince of Dol Amroth was a title used by a noble house of Gondor.

History

Origins

Faithful from Númenor had ruled over the land of Belfalas - possibly from Edhellond - since the Second Age. After the Downfall of Númenor they had been given the title Prince by Elendil[1] and their land, now a fief of Gondor, was called Dor-en-Ernil. One of those princes, Adrahil, fought under King Ondoher against the Wainriders.[2][note 1]

When an Elven stronghold was abandoned, those Gondorians came to occupy it, and named it Dol Amroth after the drowning of the Elven King Amroth. The first Prince of Dol Amroth was Galador, who, according to legend, was the son of Mithrellas, an Elf maid.[3] This supposed elven strain was noticed in Imrahil many years later by Legolas.[4]

Notes

  1. ↑ Adrahil is mentioned as a "Prince of Dol Amroth" in the narrative, but this is anachronistic as the city was named Dol Amroth much later. Cf. Adrahil I#Other versions of the legendarium
