Timeline Event
Erendis, wife of Tar-Aldarion, King of Númenor, dies
Event Type: Genealogical
Age: 2nd Age - Pre-Rings
Year: 0985
Description:
'Of Erendis it is said that when old age came upon her, neglected by Ancalimë and in bitter loneliness, she longed once more for Aldarion; and learning that he was gone from Númenor on what proved to be his last voyage but that he was soon expected to return, she left Emerië at last and journeyed unrecognised and unknown to the haven of Rómenna. There, it seems, she met her fate; but only the words "Erendis perished in water in the year 985" remain to suggest how it came to pass.'
Unfinished Tales, Part 2, Ch II, Aldarion and Erendis
She was survived by her husband Aldarion, and her daughter Ancalimë, who became the first Númenorean ruling queen.
