He came to the throne in 1964 at the death of his father.


His name meant Last king, and he was named so because of a prophesy by Malbeth the Seer: This page is a candidate to be copied to Wikiquote. ...

"Arvedui you shall call him, for he will be the last in Arthedain. Though a choice will come to the Dúnedain, and if they take the one that seems less hopeful, then your son will change his name and become king of a great realm. If not, then much sorrow and many lives of men shall pass, until the Dúnedain arise and are united again." — Appendix A: "Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion"

Arvedui married Fíriel, daughter of king Ondoher of Gondor, who was killed in 1944. This was the first renewal of contact between Arnor and Gondor, after a long estrangement, when both realized that both kingdoms were coming under simultaneous attack from the regrouping forces of Sauron (Angmar against Arthedain, the Wainriders against Gondor). At Ondoher's death, Arvedui sent messages to Gondor claiming the throne as a direct descendant of Isildur and as the husband of Fíriel, the only surviving child of King Ondoher (since the King and both his sons perished in the battle against the Wainriders). Arvedui was refused by Pelendur the Steward of Gondor: the Gondorians appointed general Eärnil as King instead. Fíriel is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkiens universe of Middle-earth. ...

Arvedui became King of Arthedain soon after, and in 1974 T.A. Angmar attacked again, driving the Dúnedain away. He and his guard hid in the old Dwarf mines of the Blue Mountains. Gondor sent help in the form of a great fleet, but it was delayed and came too late: Arthedain was overrun. Starvation drove Arvedui to flee to the Ice-bay of Forochel. Though the inhabitants were not friendly, they helped the gaunt King out of pity (and perhaps because of their weapons). In J. R. R. Tolkiens legendarium, the Dúnedain (singular: Dúnadan) were a fictional race of Men descended from the Númenóreans that survived the fall of their island kingdom and came to Eriador in Middle-earth, led by Elendil and his sons, Isildur and Anárion. ...

Círdan of Lindon sent a ship north to rescue him in 1975, and against the advice of the Snow-men of Forochel Arvedui boarded it. Before departing, he gave his ring, the Ring of Barahir to the Snow-Men chief. Shortly after leaving land, the ship was crushed by ice packs and the king drowned. In this shipwreck the palantíri of Amon Sûl and Annúminas were lost forever. Shortly afterwards, Gondorian army under Eärnur managed to destroy Angmar with help of Círdan, but Arthedain and all of Arnor were no more, and the kingship had ended. In the fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien, Círdan (ship-maker in Sindarin) the Shipwright is a Teleri Elf (of which he was one of the wisest princes), a great mariner and shipwright, lord of the Falas during much of the First Age, the wisest and perhaps the second...

His son Aranarth became the first of the Chieftains of the Dúnedain. Despite the fall of the North Kingdom, the line of Isildur remained unbroken.

Tolkiens universe of Middle-earth. ... This is a list of Chieftains of the Dúnedain Rangers of Arnor (aka Rangers of the North) from the fictional universe of Middle-earth by J. R. R. Tolkien. ... Aragorn II, son of Arathorn II, is an important character from J. R. R Tolkiens legendarium. ...


It is commonly thought that the line of Anárion had ended, as Eärnil's son Eärnur had left no heir. However, it is worth noting that the line of Anárion did run in Arvedui's descendants, thanks to his marriage to Fíriel who was directly descended from Anárion. Anárion is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkiens Middle-earth legendarium, born S.A. 3219 and killed S.A. 3440 (lived 221 years). ...


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 Eärnil's son Eärnur. The realms were not reunited until a thousand years later, when Aragorn became King Elessar. This is a list of Kings of Gondor from the fictional universe of Middle-earth by J. R. R. Tolkien. ...

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.
