Argeleb I

The seventh King of Arthedain

The son of Malvegil, who sought to reunify the lost kingdom of Arnor under his Kingship. Since the Dúnedain in Cardolan and Rhudaur had dwindled in numbers, Argeleb tried to refound Arnor around his own kingdom of Arthedain. He failed, largely through the machinations of the Witch-king of Angmar, and instead an open war broke out in which Argeleb himself was slain.
