Valandil (S.A. 3430[1] – T.A. 249[2]) was the third King of Arnor, succeeding his father, High King Isildur, after he and Valandil's older brothers were killed in the Battle of the Gladden Fields in T.A. 2.
History
Valandil was the youngest of the four sons of Isildur, born in the same year that the Last Alliance of Elves and Men was formed. Since he was only one year old when the host of Gil-galad and Elendil marched forth, he remained with his mother in Rivendell.[1]
Before he was slain, Isildur became king of Arnor and Gondor. While he had been High King of both realms, he committed the rule of Gondor to his nephew Meneldil[3] who would become King of Gondor. With the death of his father and brothers, Valandil became heir to the throne of Arnor. However, since Valandil was only 13 years old, he would wait until he was 21 to become the king (in T.A. 10).[1]
He ruled longer than any other king in the North or South kingdoms - 239 years. When he died in 249, he was succeeded by his son, Eldacar.[2]
Etymology
Valandil's name is Quenya for "Friend of the Valar", from Vala, and the suffix -ndil, meaning "friend". It was likely he was named after his ancester Valandil, the first Lord of Andúnië.
