Telemnar

Telemnar was, in J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth, the twenty-sixth king of Gondor.
After his father Minardil died in an attack by the Corsairs of Umbar at Pelargir in T.A. 1634 Telemnar became King.
His father's reign was brief but his own reign was even briefer. He was (together with Isildur) the shortest reigning king of Gondor.
In T.A. 1636 the Great Plague raged through Middle-earth and Gondor was one of the most seriously affected areas in Middle-earth. Many Númenóreans died, amongst them King Telemnar and his immediate family. He was succeeded by his nephew Tarondor (the son of Telemnar's younger brother Minastan).
