list of kings of gondor
because of the deaths of ondoher and both his sons in war, gondor faced a constitutional crisis. arvedui, heir of the king of arthedain in the north, claimed the throne of gondor as a descendant of isildur and as the husband of ondoher's daughter, but was denied by the council of gondor. for a year the realm was ruled by pelendur, steward to king ondoher, and then the crown was given to the victorious general eärnil, who came from the house of anárion and had gained popularity during the war. his son eärnur, however, became the last king. during his father's reign, he had led the forces of gondor to the aid of arthedain in the north and was offended there by the witch-king of angmar. shortly afterwards, after a two-year siege the ringwraiths captured minas ithil and took it as their abode; the city was renamed to minas morgul, the tower of sorcery and minas anor became minas tirith, the tower of guard against the evil in the east. after eärnur became king, the witch-king twice sent messengers tempting him to single combat. at the second challenge in , eärnur was overcome by wrath and rode with a small company of knights to minas morgul, from where he never returned.
