Targen

Targen (W."Holder") was a Westron Rank and Title.It was used in different context throughout times.It was often translated as "Captain" but was in fact more similar to a modern Captain/Major or even lieutenant colonel. In the Military of the late Dúnedain of Gondor the Targen would be a regional or Garrison Commander in Charge of an “Ohtarrim" of 100 up to 500 men.In late Arnor however, particularly in Rhudaur, Targen would refer to a hereditary Lord, not considered a Roquen, but sworn fealty towards one of the Erain of the Kingdom´s Great Houses.
