Turgon (Steward of Gondor)
Turgon (Third Age Third Age 2855 – Third Age 2953, aged 98 years) was the twenty-fourth Ruling Steward of Gondor.
History
Turgon was the son of Steward Túrin II. Unlike his father's reign (and his son's), his rule was apparently peaceful and uneventful, as no significant events for Gondor are recorded during those thirty-nine years.
However, it was near the end of his rule, in Third Age 2951, when Sauron declared himself openly in Mordor; he gathered his power there, and began rebuilding Barad-dûr.
His son Ecthelion succeeded him to the throne.
Etymology
For the meaning of his name refer to Turgon - Etymology. Turgon was probably named after Turgon, a High King of the Noldor of the First Age who founded the hidden city of Gondolin.
