'''(1) First [[Lord of Andúnië]]''' ([[Second Age|S.A.]] 630 - after 870)

Valandil's mother was [[Silmarien]], the eldest child of [[Tar-Elendil]], the fourth [[King of Númenor]]. His father was [[Elatan]] of [[Andúnië]].

In those days the [[sceptre]] still passed to the eldest son of the king - if he had one - but Valandil, the son of Silmarien, became the first Lord of Andúnië. The royal houses of [[Arnor]] and [[Gondor]] derive their origins from his descendant [[Elendil], the eighteenth and the last Lord of Andúnië.

According to the genealogical table in UT 210 Valandil was born in S.A. 630. In the story of [[Aldarion]] and [[Erendis]] Valandil is told to have held a feast in ca. S.A. 700 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the [[Guild of the Venturers]] (UT 182) and another feast for Aldarion and Erendis after their wedding in S.A. 870 (UT 189). The year of his death is unknown.

Valandil's wife is mentioned in UT 182 ('Erendis --- sat beside the wife of Valandil') but not named.

'''(2) Third [[King of Arnor]] ([[Second Age|S.A.]] 3430 - [[Third Age|T.A.]] 249)

Valandil, the third son of [[Isildur]], was born in the very year, when the [[Last Alliance]] of the [[Men]] and the [[Elves]] was formed and the war against [[Sauron]] begun. He was kept in [[Rivendell]] during the war, and after Isildur's elder sons, [[Elendur]] and [[Aratan]] had fallen in the [[Battle of the Gladden Fields]] and Isildur had perished in [[Anduin]] in T.A. 2, he was the only heir to the throne of [[Arnor]]. ([[Anárion]], the eldest son of Isildur had fallen already in S.A. 3440 during the [[siege of Barad-dûr]]; his son [[Meneldil]] become [[King of Gondor]]).

Valandil ascended the throne of Arnor in T.A. 10 at the age of 20 years. He died in T.A. 249 at the age of 260 years.
