Vinyarion

The grandson of Eldacar and the son of Aldamir, Vinyarion was the twenty-second King of Gondor. He ruled from T.A. 1540 until his death in T.A. 1621. A Dúnadan , he was  an excellent seaman who enjoyed a winter residence in Pelargir. His fascination with the sea proved fortuitous, for throughout the early years of his reign Gondor was threatened by Corsairs and Haradrim. This danger largely sub- sided, however, in T.A. 1551, when Vinyarion avenged the death of his father and vanquished a great Haradron fleet near the mouth of the River Harnen. He was known thereafter as Hyarmendacil II.
