The second King of Númenor was Vardamir Nóliman. He loved ancient lore that he learned from Elves and Men. Born in 61 Second Age he died in 471. He was 381 years old when Elros died. Yet he almost immediately gave over the sceptre to his son. Still he was accredited with one year of rule. And for ages it was customary for the Kings to hand over the throne before death would take them.
