:Well, it's needless fanwank. And if it needed to be cleaned up, why didn't you just spell everything correctly in the first place? -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 21:33, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

'''Dol Amroth''' was a princedom which formed part of the Kingdom of [[Gondor]].

==History==
The first Lord of Dol Amroth was Galador, son of Imrazôr the [[Númenórean]]. Imrazôr was the son of Adrahil I, who was already known as the Prince, and lived in [[Belfalas]]. At some point Imrazôr moved to the area where once was the elven haven of [[Edhellond]]. According to tradition, there he married [[Mithrellas]], a [[Silvan Elves|Silvan Elf]] of [[Lórien]] who had accompanied [[Nimrodel]], the beloved of Lórien's king [[Amroth]], on her journey towards Edhellond, but had become lost along with her mistress. Therefore Galador and his descendants had claim to Elven blood.

After Imrazôr's death (Mithrellas' fate is nowhere described, only that she eventually left Imrazôr and Galador), Galador went on to found the city and later the princedom of Dol Amroth. He is counted as its first Lord. The specific date of its foundation is nowhere recounted.

The city of Dol Amroth was built south of Edhellond at the inlet of Cobas Haven in the [[Bay of Belfalas]]. In the north of the city was built the Sea-ward Tower of Tirith Aear.

The lands of Dol Amroth were also known as '''''Dor-en-Ernil''''', or "Lands of the Prince": initially this name was applied to the area of Belfalas where Adrahil I and Imrazôr lived, but after Galador it was also applied to the area of Dol Amroth itself.

Here follows a list of the line of Princes. All dates are [[Third Age]], but many names are not known, only dates of birth and death.

*''[[Adrahil I]]'', Prince of Dor-en-Ernil: fought the [[Wainriders]] in 1944
*''[[Imrazôr]]'', Prince of Dor-en-Ernil (alive in 1981)
*''[[Galador]]'', first Prince of Dol Amroth (2004 – 2129)
*Second Prince of Dol Amroth (2060–2206)
*Third Prince of Dol Amroth (2120–2254)
*Fourth Prince of Dol Amroth (2172–2299)

*''[[Angelimir]]'', Twentieth Prince of Dol Amroth (2866 – 2977)
*''[[Adrahil II]]'', Twenty-first Prince of Dol Amroth (2917 – 3010)
*''[[Imrahil]]'', Twenty-second Prince of Dol Amroth (2955 – [[Fourth Age]] 34)
*''[[Elphir]]'', Twenty-third Prince of Dol Amroth ( – Fourth Age 67)
*''[[Alphros]]'', Twenty-fourth Prince of Dol Amroth (3017 – Fourth Age 95)
Imrahil was one of the commanders of the army of Gondor during the [[War of the Ring]], and for a while commanded the city of [[Minas Tirith in Gondor|Minas Tirith]]. After the War he went back to Dol Amroth, remaining a councellor to King [[Aragorn II|Elessar]]. He was succeeded by his son Elphir.

It is notable that during the Sedge of Gondor, the knights of Dol Amroth were a large part of the defense at the gate (Return of the king pg. 99) “About the gate the resistance was still stout, and there the knights of Dol Amroth and the hardiest of the garrison stood at bay”

Imrahil's sister [[Finduilas of Dol Amroth|Finduilas]] married [[Denethor II]], [[Steward of Gondor]] and was the mother of [[Boromir son of Denethor II|Boromir]] and [[Faramir son of Denethor II|Faramir]].
[[Lothíriel]], daughter of Imrahil, married [[Éomer]], King of [[Rohan]].

Imrahil was one of the commanders of the army of Gondor during the [[War of the Ring]], and for a while commanded the city of [[Minas Tirith in Gondor|Minas Tirith]]. After the War he went back to Dol Amroth, remaining a councellor to King [[Aragorn II|Elessar]]. He was succeeded by his son Elphir.
the claim that there is elven blood in the line ofthe princes of Dol Amroth may well be true. legloas remarked about it, and the men of Dol Amroth withstood the fear that the lord of the nasqul was using against the city longer than their gondorian peers.

Imrahil's sister [[Finduilas of Dol Amroth|Finduilas]] married [[Denethor II]], [[Steward of Gondor]] and was the mother of [[Boromir son of Denethor II|Boromir]] and [[Faramir son of Denethor II|Faramir]].
[[Lothíriel]], daughter of Imrahil, married [[Éomer]], King of [[Rohan]].
