| | * [[Valandil of Númenor]], first Lord of Andúnië |
| | * [[Valandil of Arnor]], grandson of Isildur and third King of Arnor |
|

|
| Valandil's mother was [[Silmarien]], the eldest child of [[Tar-Elendil]], the fourth [[King of Númenor]]. His father was [[Elatan]] of [[Andúnië]].
| | {{disambig}} |
| | |
| In those days the [[sceptre]] still passed to the eldest son of the king - if he had one - but Valandil, the son of Silmarien, became the first Lord of Andúnië. The royal houses of [[Arnor]] and [[Gondor]] derive their origins from his descendant [[Elendil]], the eighteenth and the last Lord of Andúnië.
| |
| | |
| According to the genealogical table in UT 210 Valandil was born in S.A. 630. In the story of [[Aldarion]] and [[Erendis]] Valandil is told to have held a feast in ca. S.A. 700 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the [[Guild of the Venturers]] (UT 182) and another feast for Aldarion and Erendis after their wedding in S.A. 870 (UT 189). The year of his death is unknown.

| | |
| Valandil's wife is mentioned in UT 182 ('Erendis --- sat beside the wife of Valandil') but not named.

| Valandil, the third son of [[Isildur]], was born in the very year, when the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men|Last Alliance]] of the [[Men]] and the [[Elves]] was formed and the war against [[Sauron]] begun.

([[Anárion]], the eldest son of Isildur had fallen already in S.A. 3440 during the [[siege of Barad-dûr]]; his son [[Meneldil]] become [[King of Gondor]]).
