Who is Queen Berúthiel? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

She was mentioned by Aragorn (who was known as Strider at the time) He made a comment to one of the hobbits that they had keener sight than one of her cats. Sorry I can't remember where in the book it is exactly but it is deffinetly in FOTR.

Oh and another question. What does Vanimelda mean? I looked it up in my copy of the Tolkien companion, and it said Vanimelda was the 3rd Queen and 16th ruler of Númenor. The full phrase is "Arwen vanimelda namarië!" and it is spoken by Aragorn at the end of Ch.6 Lothlorien, Book Two, FOTR. I know who Arwen is (well duh!) and what Namarië means, but I'm unsure about Vanimelda.

Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated to feed my curiosity. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
