Who is Queen Berúthiel? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Queen Beruthiel was one of the queens of Gondor, and was hated by the general populace because she would constantly send her "host" of cats to spy on those that she didn't like. She was also a rather twisted lady who didn't like growing things, and her husband (the King of Gondor, obviously, I forget his name) hated her so much that he eventually put her and her cats on a ship and sent them away. The last that anyone saw of that ship was it sailing past Umbar, under a crescent moon, with a cat at the prow.

"Vanimelda" is a Quenya word meaning "beautiful beloved." It was an affectionate form of address like "honey" or "sweetie" except much more classy. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
The Queen of Numenor that you're thinking about is Vanimeldë (whose name also meant the same thing).
