Argeleb I

Argeleb I was the seventh King of Arthedain.
== Biography ==
Argeleb succeeded his father Malvegil after his death in TA 1349. Because the line of Isildur had failed in the other Dúnedain realms of Cardolan and Rhudaur, Argeleb claimed the Kingship of all of Arnor again, and took the royal prefix ar(a)- as a sign. Cardolan accepted his claim, but it was too late for Rhudaur as it had by then fallen under the control of Angmar, and therefore resisted his rule. As a result of this breach, war broke out between the two opposing sides. Argeleb fortified the Weather Hills and was killed defending Weathertop in TA 1356 by evil men from Rhudaur, under the command of the Witch-king of Angmar.
Argeleb I was king for only seven years and was succeeded by his son Arveleg I. He was one-hundred-thirty years old when he died.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I: The Númenórean Kings, (iii): "Eriador, Arnor, and the Heirs of Isildur"
