	Arvedui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arvedui was the son of King Araphant of Arthedain.
		Arvedui died in 1975, and his son Aranarth became the first of the Chieftains of the Dúnedain.
		The prophecy became truth, for Arvedui was indeed the last King of Arnor, and likewise the line of the Kings of Gondor also ended with Earnil's son Eärnur.

	Pelendur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He effectively ruled the kingdom for one year while observing the claims of the two claimants, Prince Arvedui of Arthedain and the general Eärnil who was victorious in battle against the Wainriders (Easterlings).
		Pelendur dismissed Arvedui's claim maintaining that the rule of Gondor belonged to the heirs of Anarion, even though Isildur was the High King of both Gondor and Arnor before his death.
		Arvedui also argued, his wife Fíriel, the daughter of Ondoher should rightfully become Ruling-Queen due to the old Númenorean law of accession, which stated the eldest remaining child of the King should inherit the throne.

	Dunedain of the North
		Arvedui was a direct descendant of Isildur, the eldest son of Elendil who had been the High King of Gondor and Arnor.

		King Arvedui was driven into the far north by the Witch-king of Angmar and was stranded in the land of the Snowmen by the harsh winter.

	Eärnil II
		After the threat was eliminated Gondor's attention shifted towards Steward Pelendur and the Council of Gondor, for King Ondoher died without heirs.
		Arvedui had the strongest claim but Eärnil was elected king because of his glorious deeds and heritage.
		In 1974 Third Age Eärnil heard that Arthedain was in jeopardy and he sent an army under the lead of his son Eärnur to the north to aid Arvedui (now king).

		Arvedui then claimed the crown of Gondor, being the direct heir of Isildur and husband of the late king's only surviving child.
		Arvedui was however heir to the throne of the North-kingdom, but it was prophecied that he would be the last - hence his name.
		And in TA 1973, Arvedui saw that help was needed, and sent for the Dunedain of Gondor, for the Witch-king was preparing the final stroke against Arthedain.

		Arvedui was the direct descendant of Isildur, and the husband of the Firiel, the only remaining child of Ondoher.
		Still, Arvedui did not forget his rightful kingship, and as it is written, yet the claim was never forgotten by his descendants even when their kingship had passed away.
		In 1975 Arvedui was slain, and though Gondor sent their forces to assist Arnor, the Northern Land became known as the Lost Realm.

	Bambooweb: Ondoher
		Although Eärnil finally defeated the Wainriders it was learned that Ondoher's second son Faramir (not to be confused with Faramir, brother of Boromir) was slain with his father while law required that at least one heir was left behind.
		No-one with a valid claim to the throne could be found, and Arvedui of Arthedain claimed the throne.
		Although Arvedui had a strong claim by his way of his wife Fíriel, who by ancient Númenórean law now should have become Ruling Queen, the throne was granted by Steward Pelendur to the general Eärnil, who would reign as King Eärnil II.

		Arvedui makes her slightly angry again, and she has to stop writing lest her pen blots from unsteadiness and ruins the whole page.
		That is the power that is afforded women, the power to draw all eyes, the power to uses those eyes to subtly influence things for good, to make men do what she wanted whether or not they realized they were being used.

		But Arvedui and his men were forced north and into the Ered Luin and the ancient dwarf caves there.
		Sorel was angered mightily by his sister's boldness and her willingness to accept the strangers, of her usurping his leadership, and especially of her eyeing the strange man so.
		For though King Arvedui had use of the Palantiri, their visions was murky and strange and could not be understood.

		Arvedui: Yes, yes, I am well aware that riding a horse through this city isn't the smartest of ideas, but speed is necessary.
		Arvedui: follows and rides alongside Theo, cradling the palantir in his left arm, holding the reigns with his right hand There is still your original history to consider.
		Arvedui: If you want to continue going after that Vanthene lady, the last report of a woman fitting her description trying to leave the city fast indicates her leaving through one of the mountain tracks, not the main gate.

	Entmoot - Aragorn´s legitimacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The second point of the claim —being Arvedui the husband of the death king´s daughter- was refered to king´s daughters right to be heirs of the crown.
		Arvedui couldn´t say that, because in his times there were other members of the Royal Family in Gondor.
		But Arvedui responded by asserting his right as the Heir of Elendil, and this time the Council of Gondor made no response, effectively leaving open the issue of whether a northern Heir of Elendil could claim the throne.

	Middle-earth Mythology - Arvedui
		Arvedui was the last king of Arthedain and he bore the ring of Barahir, a symbol of the elven kinsmanship of his house which would at a later date be borne by his descendant Aragorn II son of Arathorn II.
		Arvedui died in a shipwreck, at which circumstance the palantíri that he had in his keeping were also lost.
		The Ring of Barahir was given by him to the men of Forodwaith, who provided food while Arvedui and his men awaited the rescue ship (which later sank).

	The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - The out-of-wedlock child
		The Birth of Aranarth is given as T.A. 1938; while the marriage of Arvedui and Firiel is given as T.A. The dates were revised between Aranarth and Aragorn II with care by Tolkien.
		The discussion I surmised that might be of value is of the prophecy of Malbeth concerning Arvedui and the rejection of the claim by Gondor (when according to Law; Firiel's children had a legal claim, also evidenced by sister-son descent in the Stewards with Denethor I).
		As it was, the crown was given to Eärnil, great-great-grandson of Telumehtar who was the 28th king on the claim Gondor was ruled by the line of Anorien.

	Pelendur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		He effectively reigned the kingdom for one year while observing the claims of the two claimants, Prince Arvedui of Arthedain (the one with the stronger claim) and General Eärnil who was victorious against the Wainriders (Easterlings).
		Pelendur resisted the rightful claim of Arvedui because he favoured a king from Gondor despite Arvedui's statement that the death of Isildur was a mere accident and that it was never meant to be that Meneldil would become king of Gondor.
		Based on the afore-mentioned data the Council of Gondor under the influence of Pelendur threw out Arvedui's claim and chose Eärnil as King, defying the Númenorean law of succession and severely weakening the position of both Gondor and Arthedain who would have fared well under a common ruler.

		King Arvedui and his surviving men fled north, where they sought shelter amid a northern people (the Lossoth) until Cirdan could send a ship to retrieve them.
		As payment, Arvedui gave the Ring of Barahir to the chief of the Lossoth.
		She travelled north to wed King Arvedui of Arthedain, unaware that soon not only her father but both of her brothers would die en route to battle, in an ambush.

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Malbeth the Seer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		He saw that Arvedui would be Arthedain's last King, and predicted Aragorn's passage of the Paths of the Dead, though it lay a thousand years in his own future.
		Malbeth is a trusted advisor to the royal house at this point - it was he who suggested Arvedui's name to his father Araphant - so it seems likely he was born some decades earlier.
		In The Return of the King III 5, Aragorn quotes Malbeth's prediction about his own future, and says that this was made '...in the days of Arvedui, last king at Fornost.' This seems to mean that Malbeth made the prediction during Arvedui's Kingship, which began in III 1964, exactly one hundred years after his birth.

	Aragorn vs. Denethor
		Arnor's last king, Arvedui, tried to reunite his kingdom with Gondor when the king of Gondor was killed in separate wars against the Easterlings.
		On the death of Ondoher [King of Gondor] and his sons, Arvedui of the North-kingdom claimed the crown of Gondor, as the direct descendant of Isildur, and as the husband of Fíriel, only surviving child of Ondoher.
		Arvedui did not press his claim; for he had neither the power nor the will to oppose the choice of the Dúnedain of Gondor; yet the claim was never forgotten by his descendants even when their kingship had passed away.

		Arvedui knows this is the end of his Kingdom- it was long prophecised, as was his name (meaning the Last King).
		Arvedui therefore sends, with his own people, a group of diverse outsiders- Elves from Rivendell, Dwarves from the Mountain, humans from the world over, maybe even Hobbits; people who have come to Fornost and sympathise with their plight.
		These are the players, and their job is to demonstrate to the people of Cardolan that this is no attempt at diplomatic conquest by Arvedui, but the realising of a vision where all are united against the darkness.

	Concerning Aragorn... - www.ezboard.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Arvedui, last king of Arnor, was married to Firiel, daughter of Odonher, King of Gondor.
		When Odonher died, with his sons having predeceased him, Arvedui asked to be made King in his place, as the husband of Odonher's daughter, in order to unite the lines of succession again.
		Arvedui's claim was refused, and Earnil was made King of Gondor, but Arvedui and his descendants remembered their claim, hence Aragorn knowing he had this claim, and using his popularity to sweep aside the politics that denied Arvedui centuries before.
