Argeleb as he lies dying on the battlefield
Argeleb succeeded his father Malvegil in TA 1349 when he died, because the line of kings of the Dúnedain of the North had failed in the realms of Cardolan and Rhudaur. Argeleb claimed the Kingship of all of Arnor again, taking the royal prefix ar(a)- as a sign. He was thus not only the seventh King of Arthedain, but also the seventeenth King of Arnor. Cardolan accepted this rule, but it was too late for Rhudaur as it had by then fallen under the control of Angmar, and therefore resisted his rule. As a result of this breach, war broke out between the two opposing sides. Argeleb fortified the hills at Weathertop, and was killed in TA 1356 by evil men from Rhudaur, under the command of the Witch-king of Angmar.
Argeleb I was king for only seven years and was succeeded by his son Arveleg I. He was one-hundred-thirty years old when he died.[2]
Etymology
Argeleb was a Sindarin name which means "Silver King" or "Royal Silver", from the words ar ("royal, high") and celeb or later geleb[3] ("silver").[4]

Argeleb was a character seen in The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II: The Rise of the Witch-king. His role is mostly the same as in the books.
