Eärendur (Lord of Andúnië)

Eärendur was the Lord of Andúnië in Númenor, said to be the fifteenth to hold that title, who lived during the time of King Ar-Sakalthôr. He is mentioned in the histories of the Second Age as the brother of Lindórië, who was the grandmother of the wise King Tar-Palantir. As Lord of Andúnië, Eärendur was also the ancestor of the Kings of the Dúnedain in Middle-earth: Aragorn was his direct descendant through no less than forty-four generations.
