Tar-Alcarin was the seventeenth King of Númenor.Unfinished Tales, Part Two: The Second Age, III: "The Line of Elros: Kings of Númenor", from the founding of the City of Armenelos to the Downfall
==Biography==
Tar-Alcarin was the son of ruling Queen, Tar-Vanimeldë, and her consort, Herucalmo. When his mother died, Tar-Alcarin should have succeeded her, but Herucalmo usurped the throne and held it from him twenty years before he died, and then Tar-Alcarin rightfully gained the throne. He ruled during a period in which there was still peace in Númenor despite the conflicting beliefs of The Faithful and the King's Men which divided its people. However in Middle-earth things were very different, Sauron's power began to grow once again, spreading great fear through the lands near Mordor. Herucalmo's usurpation of his son's legal right to rule the realm was generally considered to be an evil deed by the people.
Tar-Alcarin ruled for eighty years, then was succeeded by his son, Tar-Calmacil but was legally king and ruler of Númenor for the count of one-hundred years.Unfinished Tales, Part Two: The Second Age, III: "The Line of Elros: Kings of Númenor", from the founding of the City of Armenelos to the DownfallThe Silmarillion, Akallabêth (The Downfall of Númenor)
