Tar-Ancalimë was the seventh ruler and first Ruling Queen of Númenor, her reign spreading over 205 years, longest after that of Elros Tar-Minyatur.[1]

History

When Ancalimë was four years old her father Aldarion left his family to return to the sea. When he did, his wife Erendis took Ancalimë from Armenelos to be raised in the pastures of Emerië. Ancalimë's only childhood companion was Zamîn and she saw few men. Her mother sought to feed her daughter with her own bitterness towards men.

She withdrew to the countryside of Emerië, rejecting all of the many suitors who sought her royal hand. While she was dwelling in the sheep-lands of Númenor she acquired the title Emerwen Aranel, which is Quenya for "Princess Shepherdess".

Though she rejected her courting nobles, she grew close to a shepherd by the name of Mámandil, but after a while Ancalimë was angered to discover that Mámandil was no shepherd, but another noble suitor, Hallacar son of Hallatan of Hyarastorni.[2]

Both Tar-Ancalimë and Hallacar were fifth-generation descendants of Tar-Vardamir, and the marriage was more one of politics than of love. The Queen aimed to produce of an heir in order to secure her throne from her first cousin Soronto. Following the birth of their son, Hallacar and Tar-Ancalimë lived apart. Following the death of her father Tar-Ancalimë neglected his policies and gave no further aid to Gil-galad.[1]

She was succeeded by her son, Tar-Anárion. She died in S.A. 1285, at the age of 412 years.[3]
