Turambar was the the ninth King of Gondor.
Biography
Turambar was the son and successor of Rómendacil I. He ascended to the throne in TA 541 at a very young age. He avenged the death of his father and proceeded to conquer large parts of Rhûn from the Easterlings expanding Gondor further into the east. The conquered territories became known as the East-lands province of Gondor. He was the longest reigning king since Meneldil, ruling for 126 years. He was succeeded by his son Atanatar I upon his death in TA 667 at the age of two-hundred and seventy.[2]
Etymology
Turambar means "master of doom" in the Quenyan language.[3] He was no doubt named after Túrin Turambar, a tragic hero from the First Age.
