'''Narmacil I''', son of [[Atanatar II Alcarin]], inherited the [[Kings of Gondor|Kingship of Gondor]] when the [[South-kingdom]] was at the height of its power and wealth. He was not a great King, and indeed soon tired of the role. In Third Age 1240, after just fourteen years on the throne, he turned over the rule of [[Gondor]] to his nephew [[Minalcar]], who ruled as [[Regent of Gondor|Regent]] through the rest of Narmacil's titular Kingship.

Narmacil's Regent Minalcar was a powerful and energetic [[Men|Man]], who routed the armies of the [[Easterlings]], fortified the borders of Gondor and actively pursued diplomacy with Gondor's neighbouring tribes. It is not recorded, though, that his uncle King Narmacil had any hand in any of Minalcar's great endeavours. Narmacil, in fact, is chiefly remembered as being Gondor's second childless King, the first having been [[Tarannon Falastur]] in the tenth century.

Narmacil I sat on the throne of Gondor for sixty-eight years, but for fifty-four of these years Minalcar ruled Gondor as Regent. Narmacil died childless, and was succeeded by his younger brother [[Calmacil (King of Gondor)|Calmacil]].

Narmacil I T.A. 1049[1]1294,[2] aged 245 years) was the seventeenth King of Gondor.

History

Narmacil inherited the Kingship from his father Atanatar II Alcarin in T.A. 1226.[2] He also seems to have inherited his father's indolent disposition for in 1240 he declared Minalcar, the son of his younger brother Calmacil, to be the Regent of the realm. During the remainder of Narmacil's reign Minalcar ruled in his name.[3]

Minalcar proved to be a vigourous Regent. While Narmacil stayed behind, Minalcar sallied forth in T.A. 1248 and defeated a large army of Easterlings between Rhovanion and the Sea of Rhûn. He then took the name of "Rómendacil" (and later would ascend the throne as Rómendacil II). After this victory Rómendacil sent his son, in 1250, as an ambassador to the Northmen to secure their allegiance to Gondor.[3]

Narmacil ultimately became second childless King of Gondor and was succeeded by his younger brother Calmacil.[2]
