Herucalmo

A Númenórean and husband of the Ruling Queen Tar-Vanimelde, Herucalmo virtually governed Númenór during his wife's reign (S.A. 2526-2637). After her death, he usurped the throne from his young son Alcarin and ruled as Tar-Anducal from S.A. 2637-2657. Most chroniclers refused to recognize him as Westernesse's seventeenth King.
