Princes of Dol Amroth

The twenty-first Prince of Dol Amroth, descended in direct line from Galador the first Prince. Adrahil was the son of Angelimir, and father of Imrahil who fought in the War of the Ring.


Notes

1

Very little detail is given about Adrahil in canonical sources. The dates given here are derived from volume XII of The History of Middle-earth.

2

Adrahil's name appears to originate from the native Númenórean tongue of Adûnaic. The -hil ending probably means 'Man', but the adra- element remains obscure.

3

Adrahil's eldest child, his daughter Ivriniel, is not named outside volume XII of The History of Middle-earth. She was born in the year III 2947, and was thus eight years older than Imrahil, but other than that no details of her life are known.
