Merilineth

Merilineth (SA 1020—1377)—The wife of Tar-Anárion and mother of Alcarinë, Áranis and Tar-Súrion. Merilineth was a quiet, somewhat timid woman who loved her husband and children dearly, and was rather intimidated by her mother-in-law, Tar-Ancalimë. Nevertheless, when Ancalimë barred her granddaughters from marrying, Merilineth eventually lost her temper and furiously demanded that Ancalimë allow her daughters to marry. Much to her surprise, Ancalimë laughed and relented, and actually treated her with a larger degree of affection and respect afterwards.
