Aldamir

Aldamir was the twenty-third King of Gondor (Castamir the Usurper being counted the twenty-second).
==Biography==
Aldamir was the second son of King Eldacar of Gondor and succeeded him in TA 1490, because his elder brother Ornendil was executed by Castamir during the Kin-strife. Aldamir's years as king were marked by constant warfare with the Corsairs of Umbar (led by the sons of Castamir) and the Haradrim. He was slain in battle with the Men of Harad and Corsairs of Umbar in TA 1540 and was succeeded by his son Vinyarion.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I: The Númenórean Kings, (iv): "Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion"The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B: The Tale of Years (Chronology of the Westlands), "The Third Age"
