'''Argonui''' ({{TA|2757}}<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}, p. 196</ref> - {{TA|2912|n}},<ref name="North">{{App|North}}</ref> died aged 155) was the thirteenth [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]].


Like his forefathers, he was raised by [[Elrond]] in [[Rivendell]] while his father [[Arathorn I]] dwelt in the wild. He became the [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] in 2848 [[Third Age|T.A.]], when his father was killed by wolves.
==History==
Argonui succeeded his father, [[Arathorn I]], in {{TA|2848|n}}.<ref name="North"/>


During his rule, [[Gandalf]] entered [[Dol Guldur]] and discovered that it was [[Sauron]] who ruled there as he long had feared, and not [[Angmar]] his servant. [[Thráin II]] the [[Dwarves|Dwarf]] died after giving [[Gandalf]] a map and a key.
Towards the end of his rule, in {{TA|2911|n}}, the [[Fell Winter (Third Age)|Fell Winter]] began with the [[Brandywine]] freezing over. This was a catalyst for [[White Wolves]] invading [[Eriador]] from the North.<ref name="TA">{{App|TA}}</ref>


The [[White Council]] met in 2850, where [[Gandalf]] urged an attack on [[Dol Guldur]] to drive [[Sauron]] out, but [[Saruman]] overruled him.
In the last year of his reign, great floods devastated [[Enedwaith]] and [[Minhiriath]], leaving [[Tharbad]] ruined and deserted.<ref name="TA"/>


In 2890 [[Bilbo Baggins]] was born in [[the Shire]], son of [[Bungo Baggins|Bungo]] of the respectable [[Baggins]] family, and [[Beladonna]], daughter of the [[Old Took]].
Argonui died in {{TA|2912|n}}, after having ruled for 64 years, and was followed by his son [[Arador]].<ref name="North"/>


At the end of Argonui's rule in 2911 the [[Fell Winter]] began and [[White Wolves]] invaded [[Eriador]] from the North, some of them crossing the frozen river [[Baranduin]] into the Shire.
==Etymology==
Argonui's name is [[Sindarin]] and means "Valorous King", coming from the prefix ''[[ara|ar-]]'' meaning "royal, king", and ''conui'' (from ''caun'' meaning valour, and ''ui'' an adjectival ending) becoming [[Lenition|lenited]] to ''gonui'' meaning "valour". ''Conui'' can also be considered to mean "commanding".


Argonui died in 2912, possibly as a result of the Fell Winter, and was followed by his son [[Arador]].

History

Argonui succeeded his father, Arathorn I, in 2848.[2]

Towards the end of his rule, in 2911, the Fell Winter began with the Brandywine freezing over. This was a catalyst for White Wolves invading Eriador from the North.[3]

In the last year of his reign, great floods devastated Enedwaith and Minhiriath, leaving Tharbad ruined and deserted.[3]

Argonui died in 2912, after having ruled for 64 years, and was followed by his son Arador.[2]

Etymology

Argonui's name is Sindarin and means "Valorous King", coming from the prefix ar- meaning "royal, king", and conui (from caun meaning valour, and ui an adjectival ending) becoming lenited to gonui meaning "valour". Conui can also be considered to mean "commanding".
