Turgon (Steward)

Turgon (Steward)

In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Turgon was the twenty-fourth Ruling Steward of Gondor. He was born in T.A 2855 and succeeded his father Túrin II at his death in T.A. 2914.

During his rule, Barad-dûr was re-occupied by Sauron, and in the north Saruman proclaimed himself Lord of Isengard. Turgon was powerless to stop both events; at the time, Saruman was still considered an ally, though in fact he had not only made himself independent of Gondor, but had effectively stolen Isengard and was becoming a traitor.

During this time Thengel son of Fengel, heir to the throne of Rohan lived in Gondor along with his family.

Turgon was followed by his son Ecthelion II at his death in 2953.
