Though the Siege of Pelargir took place in the aftermath of the Kin-Strife, this was the first battle that set up the Corsair Wars against Gondor.

In T.A. 1447 the rightful King Eldacar of Gondor slew Castamir the Usurper at the Battle of the Crossings of Erui. Led by his sons, Castamir's kin and the people of the fleets retreated and held out for one year in the port city of Pelargir. The siege could not be broken because Eldacar had no ships, which allowed the rebels to resupply and gather all of the support that they could. In 1448 the rebels sailed away to Umbar and established a lordship independent of Gondor.
