In briefanswer capsule

Valacar, nineteenth king of Gondor and son of Rómendacil II, was sent in 1250 to Vidugavia to learn Northmen speech and customs. He loved those lands, wed Vidumavi, Vidugavia’s daughter, and stayed years before returning. From this sprang the Kin-strife, Gondor’s first great civil war, in his days. As he grew old, the South already rose; Dúnedain feared the queen’s short life and rejected her son, born abroad as Vinitharya, later Eldacar.
