[edit] History
Túrin was named after the great hero of the First Age. Since the House of Húrin was a family of ancient Elf-friends they spoke Sindarin (after the fashion of Gondor) and often drew their names from legends of Elves or Men of the First Age.[1]
Túrin's stewardship occurred during the period of the Watchful Peace (T.A. 2063-2460).[3]
Túrin ruled as Steward for thirty-four years. Very unusually for a noble of Gondor, he married twice and had several children. However, only his last child, born in his old age, was a son.[1] He was succeeded by his son Hador.[2]
