Vidumavi, also known as Galadwen (died T.A. 1344)[1] was the daughter of Vidugavia, the King of Rhovanion.[2]
History
Vidumavi married the Gondorian Prince Valacar when he was on a diplomatic mission in Rhovanion.[2]
She was, as the Dúnedain of Gondor feared, short-lived (dying in 1344 of the Third Age,[1] before Valacar became king), but she succeeded in bearing Valacar a son, the future King Eldacar. Because of Eldacar's short-lived, non-Dúnadan mother, many Gondorians were unwilling to accept him as king, leading to the disastrous Kin-strife.[2]
