Lord of Lamedon who followed the Grey Company. Lamedon was a fiefdom of Gondor south of the White Mountains. On March 11, 3019, Angbor and his Men were fighting the Men of Umbar and Harad at the fords on the River Gilrain near Linhir when Aragorn and the Grey Company arrived leading the Army of the Dead. Men on both sides of the battle fled, but Angbor was brave enough to remain. Aragorn called him Angbor the Fearless and told him to summon his Men and follow the Grey Company to Pelargir.
Angbor did as he was bid, arriving at Pelargir on the night of March 13. Then Aragorn sent him marching north toward Minas Tirith at the head of a company of 4,000 Men of the South while Aragorn himself sailed the fleet seized from the Corsairs up the Anduin. During the Last Debate after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, Aragorn said he expected Angbor to arrive in two days on March 18. It is not known whether Angbor accompanied the Host of the West to the Black Gate or whether he remained to guard Minas Tirith.
Other Names:
Called Angbor the Fearless by Aragorn.
Etymology:
The word ang means "iron" and bor means "endure." Angbor may mean something akin to "iron endurance."
