Arathorn II

Arathorn II was the fifteenth Ranger Chieftain and ruled the Dúnedain of the North from T.A. 2930 until T.A. 2933. He married Gilraen the Fair, the daughter of Dirhael, despite her father's fears regarding Arathorn's fate. Aragorn Estel, their son and only child, was bom in Rivendell in T.A. 2931. The boy was only two years old when Arathorn was shot through the eye by an Orc arrow while fighting with Elladan and Elrohir (the sons of Elrond). As foretold by Dirhael, Arathorn passed on while quite young, for he was only sixty at his death.
