              Earnil I 13th king.
              Ciryandil 14th king
              Hyarmendacil I 15th king.

              Aldamir 23rd king
              Hyarmendacil II 24th king. .
              Minardil 25th king.
              Telemnar 26th king.
              Tarondor 27th king.
              Telumehtar Umbardacil 28th king.
              Narmacil II 29th king.
              Calimehtar 30th king.
              Ondoher 31st king. His two sons, Artamir and Faramir, were slain in battle on the Dagorlad. The sons died childless.
                Arveduil 32nd king. Ondoher's daughter, Firiel, married Arvedui, the 15th and last king of Arthedain, directly descended from Isildur. Firiel was heiress to the crown of Gondor by the laws of Numenor, but Gondor had not ever taken a ruling queen before. Arvedui of Arthedain's claim to the vacant throne of Gondor was rejected. Arvedui sent his sons to Lindon, saving them from the Witch-king. Arvedui and Firiel's elder son, Aranarth, became first Chieftain of the Dunedain of the North, carrying the bloodline of the High Kings.
            3rd Line:
              Earnil II 32nd king. After a year of dissension after Ondoher's and his sons' deaths, the crown was given to Earnil II instead of Arvedui, due in large part to dissension from Pelendur, King Ondoher's Steward. He was of royal lineage from King Telumehtar Umbardacil's second son, Arciryas (whose brother was King Narmacil II from whom Firiel was descended). Arciryas's son was Calimmacil, whose son was Siriondil, whose son was Earnil II.
              Earnur 33rd king. Son of Earnil II. He never married and produced no heir. That line of Anarion ended with him, the one from Telumehtar's second son Arciryas.
              Since there was no witness to Earnur's death, Mardil the Good Steward ruled in Earnur's name for him. Few descendents of pure blood of the kings survived the Kin-strife, and those had their claims contested, and everyone feared another Kin-strife which would destroy Gondor, so the Steward remained in power.
See Stewards of Gondor.

            Stewards of Gondor House of Stewards, House of Hurin. Descendents of Hurin, the Steward of King Minardil. They ruled Gondor when a King was unavailable.
