Turambar of Gondor

Turambar of Gondor was the ninth King of Gondor. He ascended the throne in T.A. 541, after Easterlings slew  his  illustrious father Tarostar (Rómendacil I). Turambar gathered Gondor's army and reorganized its structure in order to combat the menace from the East. Then, he ordered his forces to cross the Anduin and drive the Easterlings out of Rhovanion. Turambar's army won a decisive victory near Dagorlad, avenging Rómendacil's death and vastly increasing Gondor's eastern holdings. The territory called Dor-Rhûnen became one of the South Kingdom's most valuable and inviting possessions. Turambar died in T.A. 667. His eldest son, Atanatar I, suc- ceeded him.
