Belecthor II

The twenty-first Ruling Steward of Gondor

The son of Steward Beregond, who succeeded his father to rule Gondor during the twenty-ninth century of the Third Age. He is noted as the last of the line of Stewards to live past his one hundredth year. Nonetheless, he is most remembered in history because of his death, which also saw the death of the White Tree in the courts of Minas Tirith. Belecthor was succeeded by his son Thorondir, who left the Dead Tree standing in place.
