Argeleb IThe seventh King of ArthedainArgeleb's father was Malvegil, during whose reign the Nazgûl reappeared in Middle-earth, and the realm of Angmar was founded in opposition to the fractured remnant of Arnor. When Argeleb succeeded his father, he sought to reunify the three kingdoms, since his own realm of Arthedain was the only one in which an heir of Isildur's House still ruled. His purpose was forcefully opposed by Rhudaur, which was at that time ruled by Hill-men who (as was only later discovered) had forged an alliance with the Witch-king's realm of Angmar.3 Faced with this threat from the east, Argeleb built fortifications on his eastern border, along the Weather Hills northward from the ancient Tower of Amon Sûl.4 The confrontation soon broke out into open war, the first direct conflict between the Dúnedain and Angmar, and in that war Argeleb himself was slain just seven years after becoming King. He was succeeded by his son, Arveleg I, who drove the enemy back from the Weather Hills and saved the realm, at least for a time. Notes
