Ecthelion II (Third Age 2886[1] – 2984,[2] aged 98 years) was the twenty-fifth Ruling Steward of Gondor. He succeeded his father Turgon at his death in Third Age 2953.
History
Ecthelion was known as a man of wisdom, who encouraged worthy men to enter into his service. One who did so was the stranger Thorongil, who fought for Gondor and severely damaged the Corsairs' fleet at Umbar in a surprise attack. It later transpired that Thorongil was Aragorn Elessar.[3] Gandalf was also a welcome guest in Minas Tirith at the time, and Ecthelion strengthened Pelargir and refortified Cair Andros.[1]
Ecthelion was followed by his son Denethor at his death in 2984.[2]
