Angamaitë ('Ironhanded'; anga = iron, maite = hand) was one of the great-grandsons of Castamir the Usurper. With Sangahyando, another descendant of Castamir, Angamaitë followed in the footsteps of his treacherous ancestor. He led the Corsairs of Umbar on a devastating raid against the Gondorian port of Pelargir, where they succeeded in ravaging the city and slaying Minardil, the King of Gondor himself. Angamaitë's name comes from the Elvish for 'Iron-handed'.
