Úner

Ancalimë’s husband of choice

The daughter of an unhappy marriage, raised in isolation, Ancalimë had no wish to wed, though her duty as Heir to the Sceptre of Númenor demanded it. Her preferred husband, she said, would be Úner, which is the Elvish for 'Noman'. In the end, she relented, and wedded Hallacar of Hyarastorni, producing a son who would rule Númenor after her as Tar-Anárion.


Notes

1

The tale of Ancalimë's life does not give us a specific date for her insistence that she would wed Úner or 'Noman'. We do know that this occurred during the time that she was living away from the court as a shepherdess, which would place it at some point after II 892, when she left the court to dwell in the countryside. Despite her emphatic pronouncement, she did in fact eventually marry, and her insistence that she would never do so must necessarily have preceded her wedding to Hallacar in II 1000.
