Vidumavi

Vidumavi was a princess of the Northmen, the daughter of Vidugavia, who claimed the title of King of Rhovanion.
==Biography==
Vidumavi married the heir to Gondor's throne, Prince Valacar, when he was on a diplomatic mission to Rhovanion after the year TA 1250. The Dúnedain of Gondor feared that a shorter-lived bloodline would weaken Gondor's royal line. In TA 1255, she bore Valacar a son and heir, the future King Eldacar. Because of Eldacar's short-lived Northman mother, many of the Dúnedain and Men of Gondor were unwilling to accept him as king. This led to the disastrous Kin-strife eighty-eight years later in TA 1432.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I: The Númenórean Kings, (iv): "Gondor and the heirs of Anárion"
Vidumavi was also known by the name Galadwen after coming to Gondor with her husband and child.
