[edit] History
Tar-Ancalimë was raised by her mother Erendis and a childhood companion was Zamîn. Her mother's tragic married life might have influenced Tar-Ancalimë's rejection of her husband.
She moved to the Númenórean sheep-lands of Emerië where her mother had a house to escape from the many suitors who sought her hand in marriage. There she dwelt for a time tending sheep becoming known as Emerwen Aranel.
She married the nobleman Hallacar, son of Hallatan of Hyarastorni in SA 1000. Both Tar-Ancalimë and Hallacar were fifth-generation descendants of King Vardamir Nólimon, 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.
She was succeeded by her son, Tar-Anárion. She died in year 1285 of the Second Age after a rule of 205 years, at the age of 412 years.
[edit] Etymology
Ancalimë means "Most bright" and Emerwen Aranel means "Princess Shepherdess" in Quenya.
