The One Wiki to Rule Them All
This article is about the the twenty-first Ruling Steward of Gondor. For the fifteenth Steward, see Belecthor I.

Belecthor II was the twenty-first Ruling Steward of Gondor.

Biography[]

Belecthor was born in TA 2752 and was the only child of Beregond. When his father died in TA 2811, Belecthor succeeded him as the twenty-first Ruling Steward. Belecthor continued his father's campaigns against the Corsairs of Umbar and the Orcs. Belecthor died in TA 2872 at the age of 120 years old after a rule of sixty-one years. When he died, the White Tree of Gondor withered and died, and no sapling or seedling was found to replace it. So the withered tree was left standing until the return of the king.[2]

Belecthor was succeeded by his son Thorondir.[2]

He was the last Steward until Faramir to live past the age of 100.

Etymology[]

The name Belecthor means "Mighty eagle", from the Sindarin beleg ("mighty") and thor(on) ("eagle").[3] He might have been named after the fifteenth Ruling Steward, Belecthor I.
