Tarcil (TA 260 – TA 515) was the sixth King of Arnor.
He ascended the throne of Arnor in TA 435 on the death of his father Arantar.
His reign was without event for eighty years and he died in TA 515 and was succeeded by his son Tarondor. He was two-hundred and thirty-three years of age.
Etymology
Edit
The name Tarcil (also spelt Tarkil) also appears in The History of The Lord of the Rings as another nickname for Aragorn: its meaning is apparently "High Man", a synonym for Dúnadan. The Orcish term "tark" for a Dúnadan is without doubt derived from this.
