Herucalmo

Herucalmo was the consort to ruling Queen Tar-Vanimeldë of Númenor. He was much younger than his wife. Tar-Vanimeldë had little interest in ruling, and Herucalmo served as her regent. When she died, the throne should have gone to their son, Tar-Alcarin, but Herucalmo usurped the throne and ruled under the name Tar-Anducal ("Light of the West") from S.A. 2637 to 2657.

Upon Tar-Anducal's death, Tar-Alcarin finally succeeded to his rightful throne.
