King's Court
From Tolkien Gateway
Númenor by Tolrone.
The King's Court referred to the courts of the Kings of Númenor in Armenelos, where Nimloth, the White Tree of Númenor grew.[1]
After Sauron had been taken to Númenor and began to acquire power over Ar-Pharazôn, he urged the king to cut down Nimloth. When Isildur heard of Sauron's purpose he entered the King's Court one night, alone and in disguise, and took a fruit from the tree. Isildur had to fight his way out of the court; afterwards the king yielded to Sauron and had the tree felled.[2]
