History[edit | edit source]

Belecthor was the last of his line to pass the age of 100. Upon his death the White Tree of Gondor also died, but was left standing "until the King comes".[3]

Belecthor was followed by his son Thorondir at his death in 2872.[2]

Other versions of the legendarium[edit | edit source]

Belecthor's date of death was recorded in Appendix A and "The Heirs of Elendil" as Third Age 2872, but in Appendix B as Third Age 2852. Since the 50th Anniversary Edition of The Lord of the Rings this has been corrected so all dates now show Third Age 2872.[4]
