Turambar

Encyclopedia : T : TU : TUR : Turambar

In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Turambar was a name of Túrin, a tragic hero from the First Age. Turambar means "master of doom" in the Sindarin language, and was chosen by Túrin in defiance of the curse placed upon his family by Morgoth.

Turambar was also the ninth King of Gondor. The son and successor of Rómendacil I, Turambar ascended to the throne at a very young age.

He avenged the death of his father by conquering large parts of Rhovanion from the Easterlings. He was the longest reigning king since Meneldil, ruling for 126 years. He was succeeded by his son Atanatar I upon his death in 667 T.A.
