'''Hador''' ([[Third Age]] 2245 – 2395, aged 150 years) was the seventh [[Ruling Steward]] of [[Gondor]], who inherited the Stewardship from his father [[Túrin I]], and in due course was succeeded by his son [[Barahir son of Hador|Barahir]]. It was the fashion at this period of history for [[Gondor]]'s Stewards to take their names from historical figures of the [[First Age]], a fashion that would survive for four generations after Hador to his great-great-grandson Steward [[Boromir son of Denethor I|Boromir]]. Hador himself was named for the great hero [[Hador Lórindol]], ancient [[Lord of Dor-lómin]].

==Etymology==


Little of note occurred during Hador's rule. On the three hundredth anniversary of the [[Stewards' Reckoning]], the calendar introduced by his ancestor [[Mardil]], he added an extra day to the year to 'fine-tune' the calendar's accuracy. Hador ruled during the time of the [[Watchful Peace]], and so had no need to concern himself with matters of war, though his descendants would not be so fortunate.
*See ''[[Hador (word)]]''


Hador ruled Gondor for one hundred and seventeen years, and was succeeded by his son Barahir.

Hador (Third Age 22452395, aged 150 years) was the seventh Ruling Steward of Gondor.

History

Hador was named for a great hero of the First Age, Hador Lórindol, the ancient Lord of Dor-lómin. His rule occurred during the time of the Watchful Peace (T.A. 2063-2460) so Gondor enjoyed peace throughout his reign.[1]

On the three hundredth anniversary of the Stewards' Reckoning, the calendar introduced by his ancestor Mardil Voronwë, Hador added an extra day to the year T.A. 2360. This was done to reduce the millennial deficit, thus keeping the calendar in synchronization with the seasons.[2]

Hador ruled Gondor for one hundred and seventeen years, and was succeeded by his son Barahir.[3] Hador was the last Gondorian to live 150 years and after his time the life-span of those with Númenórean blood waned more rapidly.[4]
