The title of forty known Lords of the Dúnedain descended in right line from Isildur the son of Elendil, from his son Valandil to Aragorn Elessar, who reunited the Kingdoms of the Dúnedain in Middle-earth.
|
I |
Valandil |
Isildur's direct heir, Valandil was a child in Rivendell when his father and three elder brothers were slain. His cousin Meneldil took up the rule of Gondor at this time, and Valandil was later made the King of Arnor. |

VIII |
Eärendur |
After Eärendur's death, Arnor was divided by his sons into three realms: Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur. |
|
IX |
Amlaith |
Amlaith of Fornost, the first King of Arthedain, was Eärendur's eldest son and hence the direct Heir of Isildur. |

Arvedui |
When King Ondoher of Gondor was lost with both his sons in battle, Arvedui put forward a claim for the throne of the South-kingdom. He failed, and instead of reuiniting the Kingdoms of the Dúnedain, his own land of Arthedain was overrun by Angmar and destroyed. |
|
XXIV |
Aranarth |
Aranarth revenged his father's loss with the aid of a Gondorian army, overthrowing Angmar and driving its Witch-king away into the south. Nonetheless, by Aranarth's time the Northern Dúnedain had dwindled too far to refound a kingdom, and they became a wandering people, secretly protecting the legacy of Isildur. |

A great adventurer, Aragorn travelled widely in the lands of Middle-earth, eventually allying himself with Gandalf and helping to lead the defence against Sauron in the War of the Ring. He was crowned King of the West in Gondor, finally reuniting the lines of the Northern and Southern Dúnedain. |
XL |
Eldarion |
Aragorn's son Eldarion is the last Heir of Isildur whose name is recorded, but it seems that he produced heirs of his own to carry on the line into the Fourth Age. |
