Physical Description Valacar (T.A. 1194[1]1432,[2] aged 238
years) was the twentieth King of Gondor.   Valacar's father,
Rómendacil II, led a large army that in T.A. 1248 defeated the
Easterlings in the lands beyond the Anduin. In this same region
also dwelt numerous groups of Northmen, of which the most
powerful was Vidugavia, who aided Gondor in the fight against
the Easterlings. Rómendacil wished to strengthen the bond with
the "King of Rhovanion", so in 1250 he sent Valacar as Gondor's
ambassador to Vidugavia.[3]  Valacar was charged with learning
the language, manners, and policies of the Northmen. What was
not foreseen was that he would become so enamoured of the people
and lands of the North that he would want to marry Vidugavia's
daughter, Vidumavi.[3] Róme
