As we learned in the last episode, his father, Tar-Meneldur, chose to turn the rule of Númenor over to Aldarion earlier than was normal, due to a letter from the Elven High-King Gil-galad. asking for Númenor’s aid amidst the increasingly dire situation in Middle-earth. In this chapter, we’ll explore Aldarion’s reign, as well as what becomes of his wife Erendis and daughter Ancalimë.As with our last few episodes, this is a longer chapter than most of the Fall of Númenor chapters, so we’ll only be hitting the high points.However, if you’d like a more in-depth discussion of the tale of Aldarion and Erendis, to include Greta’s perspective, please check out the notes, or just go back and find episodes 183, 185, 186, and 187.WATCH ON YOUTUBE » https://youtu.be/wOznMB_I9fQDISCUSSION EPISODES ON THE MARINER'S WIFE / ALDARION & ERENDIS:EP183: https://youtu.be/Ey76ckHwROEEP185: https://youtu.be/l83a6Idacg4EP186: https://youtu.be/NgcX2-QOmSIEP187: https://youtu.be/8HzR-raLIjc HELPFUL LINKSEpisode Webpage: https://www.tolkienroad.com/e0342take 10% OFF Tolkien Road merch at True Myths Press » https://truemythspress.com/discount/TENOFF (enter code TENOFF at checkout)listen to TOLKIEN’S WORKS for FREE » https://www.audibletrial.com/everonbuy Tolkien’s Requiem » https://tolkiensrequiem.com/buy Tolkien’s Overture » https://tolkiensoverture.com/read Tolkien's Tragedy » https://tolkienroad.substack.com/Ad-Free Audio » https://www.patreon.com/posts/86499088Ad-Free Video » https://www.patreon.com/posts/146600702Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
