This article lists the Kings of Arnor and Kings of Arthedain.

The Kings of Arnor, as descendants of Amandil of Andúnië, claimed descent from the Lords of Andúnië (in Númenor), and from there to the Kings of Númenor.
Elendil and Isildur were High Kings of Gondor as well as Arnor, but after Isildur the realms were split.

  1. Elendil, son of Amandil. He reigned from S.A. 3320 – 3441
  2. Isildur reigned S.A. 3441 – T.A. 2

Kings of Arnor[]

The Kings of Arnor used names in High Elven (Quenya):

  1. Valandil reigned T.A. 2 – 249 (regency of Queen Valardis between T.A. 2 and T.A. 10)
  2. Eldacar reigned T.A. 249 – 339
  3. Arantar reigned T.A. 339 – 435
  4. Tarcil reigned T.A. 435 – 515
  5. Tarondor reigned T.A. 515 – 602
  6. Valandur reigned T.A. 602 – 652
  7. Elendur reigned T.A. 652 – 777
  8. Eärendur reigned T.A. 777 – 861, last King of Arnor

Kings of Arthedain[]

After Eärendur the realm of Arnor was split between his three sons, founding the realms of Arthedain, Cardolan, and Rhudaur; the elder line of Kings continued with the Kings of Arthedain, who used names in Sindarin.
The list of Kings of Arthedain follows here:

  1. Amlaith, eldest son of Eärendur, first King of Arthedain, reigned T.A. 861 – 946
  2. Beleg reigned T.A. 946 – 1029
  3. Mallor reigned T.A. 1029 – 1110
  4. Celepharn reigned T.A. 1110 – 1191
  5. Celebrindor reigned T.A. 1191 – 1272
  6. Malvegil reigned T.A. 1272 – 1349

In 1349 the descendants of Eärendur had died out in Cardolan and Rhudaur, and Argeleb I of Arthedain again claimed the title King of Arnor, and he and his descendants used names with the prefix ar(a) in token of this claim. The Kings of Arthedain were then added to the elder list of Kings. Argeleb, 7th King of Arthedain, is thus referred to as the 17th of the Kings of Arnor, and Arvedui was the 25th and last King of the Northern Line.

  1. Argeleb I reigned T.A. 1349 – 1356
  2. Arveleg I reigned T.A. 1356 – 1409
  3. Araphor reigned T.A. 1409 – 1589
  4. Argeleb II reigned T.A. 1589 – 1670
  5. Arvegil reigned T.A. 1670 – 1743
  6. Arveleg II reigned T.A. 1743 – 1813
  7. Araval reigned T.A. 1813 – 1891
  8. Araphant reigned T.A. 1891 – 1964
  9. Arvedui reigned T.A. 1964 – 1975, Last King of the North Kingdom.
