Fíriel was the third child and daughter of King Ondoher of Gondor.[1]
History
Fíriel was wed to prince Arvedui of Arnor in T.A. 1940 when Arvedui's father Araphant made an alliance with Ondoher.[2] The alliance proved fruitless, however. Neither side could send help to the other as both Kingdoms came under attack: Arnor by Angmar and Gondor by the Wainriders.
During the Disaster of the Morannon, Ondoher and his sons Artamir and Faramir were killed, which meant that according to the Law of Númenor, Fíriel should have become the Ruling Queen. Arvedui referred to this ancient law, as well as the fact that he was a direct descendant of Isildur, as arguments to claim the crown of Gondor, but he was refused.
Fíriel remained with her husband in the north, though her fate in the fall of Arthedain was never recorded. She did have a son, Aranarth, who continued the line of Isildur.[1]
Etymology
Fíriel is Quenya for "mortal woman".[3]
Genealogy
Notes
- ↑ In Appendix A, Aranarth is indicated as the elder son of Arvedui, meaning that Arvedui and Fíriel had at least one other son.
