Tar-Amandil

Tar-Amandil was the third King of Númenor.
==Biography==
Tar-Amandil was actually Númenor's second ruler; his father, Vardamir Nólimon, had declined to take the throne upon the death of his own father, Elros Tar-Minyatur. He abdicated due to advanced age in favor of his son Tar-Amandil but was still by right of succession the ruler, and Vardamir is still counted in the list of kings, making him the second king. Thus, Tar-Amandil was listed as the third King of Númenor. As Vardamir was potentially Half-elven like Elros, Tar-Amandil may have been a Half-elf of the third generation, giving him a slow maturity and long youth like the Elves, while being fated for mortality like Men. He had three children: Tar-Elendil, his eldest son who would succeed him, Eärendur, and a daughter named Mairen.Unfinished Tales, Part Two: The Second Age, II: "Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner's Wife"
Tar-Amandil surrendered the Sceptre of Númenor in SA 590 and was succeeded by Tar-Elendil. He died in the year 603 of the Second Age at the age of 411.
