Minastan was the second son of King Minardil of Gondor.
[edit] History
In T.A. 1636[1] Minastan's elder brother Telemnar had sat on their father's throne for just two years when he died with all his heirs in the Great Plague.[2] Minastan had also died by this time - perhaps he too met his end in the Plague - but he left behind a surviving heir, Tarondor, who became the first King of a new line.[3]
