Aragorn I (T.A. 2227[1] - 2327,[2] died aged 100) was the son of Aravir, and fifth Chieftain of the Dúnedain.
History[edit | edit source]
Little is known of his life as it was during the Watchful Peace, other than that he succeeded his father when Aravir died in 2319. It is likely that his short rule was uneventful, with small battles to free the lands of evil.
Indeed, after having ruled as Chieftain for only eight years, his life was cut short in T.A. 2327, when he was killed by wild wolves in Eriador (which were always a peril in that land). He was succeeded by his son Araglas.[3][2]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
- See also: Aragorn#Etymology
Aragorn's name is Sindarin, and means "Revered King", from ara, a prefix for royalty, and gorn "revered".[4]
