This was the banner flown by the twenty-second Prince of Dol Amroth, Imrahil, during the War of the Ring, when he and his knights came to the aid of his late sister’s widower, Denethor II. Just prior to the siege of Minas Tirith, Imrahil led his cavalry out of the city gates to repel an attack by Southrons this cavalry was comprised of the fabled Swan Knights of Dol Amroth. In memory of the loss of Amroth, the emblem of the Princes of Dol Amroth ever after was a silver swan-prowed ship upon a field of blue. In southern Gondor, on the Bay of Belfalas, was the headland of Dol Amroth, named for the Elf-king of Lórien who of old hurled himself into a storm-surge when his lady Nimrodel failed to join him upon the ship that was to carry them both to the Undying Lands. ![]()
