Vidugavia was a prince of the Northmen and was known as the King of Rhovanion, despite only being its mightiest prince. His lifespan is unknown.
Biography[]
The realm of Vidugavia was located between the eastern edge of Greenwood the Great and the river River Running. He was the ancestor of the Lords of the Éothéod and the Kings of Rohan. Although some Northmen had not remained faithful to Gondor in its war with the Easterlings, the powerful "Regent of the realm" of Gondor, Minalcar, sought an alliance with the Northmen nonetheless. He came to favor Vidugavia to whom he regarded the most faithful and reliable, and was Gondor's ally in the war with the Easterlings.
In TA 1250, Minalcar sent his son Prince Valacar on a diplomatic mission to the Court of Vidugavia to become familiar with the laws and customs of his realm. There Valacar came to befriend Vidugavia and his family. He loved this land so much that he married Vidugavia's daughter Vidumavi.[1]
Vidugavia was the grandfather of Eldacar and the ancestor of Marhari and Eorl the Young.
