Nope.

I think the Kings of Numenor are a good route to take, so... how about Tar-Herunumen/Ar-Adunakhor? The true "Lord of the West" is kind of morally washy at times, but certainly not a bad guy, and he's not said to have given himself the title.

Kings of Numenor are the wrong route to take. The answer is much less obscure.

Your logic for linking Ar-Adunakjor with both sentences of the clue is on the right track.

Sauron? I am not sure whether he named himself or not, but he and Frodo were both called 'Lord of the Rings' in the books.

Not him either.

I am wondering now if the clue is a little too vague. I can alter it or add more hints if you find you're working with too many possibilities.

Am I in right time period at least

With Sauron? Seeing as he existed from the start of the First Age until the end of the Third Age... yes, I suppose you are right, the answer is somewhere in between those time points.
