Tarcil (T.A. 280 – 515, aged 235 years) was the sixth King of Arnor.[1][2]
History
Tarcil succeeded his father, Arantar, when he died in 435. Tarcil was great-great-grandson of Isildur.
Tarcil ruled uneventfully for eighty years, and was succeeded by his son, Tarondor, upon his death in 515.
Etymology
The name Tarcil (also spelt Tarkil)[note 1] also appears in early stages of The Lord of the Rings as another nickname for Aragorn: its meaning is apparently "High Man", a synonym for Dúnadan.[3][4] The Orkish term "tark" for a Dúnadan is possibly derived from this.[5]
