Calimehtar (TA 1736 - TA 1936, r. TA 1856 - TA 1936) became the thirtieth King of Gondor in TA 1856 after his father Narmacil II was killed by the Wainriders.
He had a son named Ondoher to an unnamed wife.
History
Calimehtar gained fame by avenging his fathers death in a battle at Dagorlad, and the help of the rebelling people of Rhovanion (under Easterling rule at that time) was essential for the great victory Gondor won.
He died in TA 1936 after a rule of eighty years and was succeeded by his son Ondoher. He was two-hundred years of age.
Etymology
Calimehtar is a Quenyan word that meant 'Swordsman of light'.
