He effectively ruled the kingdom for one year while observing the claims of the two claimants, Prince Arvedui of Arthedain and the general Eärnil who was victorious in battle against the Wainriders (Easterlings).

Based on the afore-mentioned data the Council of Gondor, under the influence of Pelendur, threw out Arvedui's claim and chose Eärnil as King, defying the Númenorean law of succession, which was said to be unappliable in a warring state like Gondor.

 Lessons of Christian Stewardship from the Life of the Steward of Gondor
In a church context when the words "steward" or "stewardship" are mentioned, many people grimace-- expecting a sermon on tithing and faithful giving to quickly follow.
Although Jesus was much more than a steward of the King, because he was the King (God incarnate, as reformed believers understand through the holy Trinity: God, Father, and Holy Spirit)-- a strong case can be made that Jesus intended and intends for us all to live the life of the faithful and obedient steward.
If you are not very familiar with the movie or book series, "Denethor" is the steward of the realm of Gondor, and is entrusted to rule the kingdom and make decisions as required to protect its people and keep everything in order until the rightful king returns to reclaim the throne.

 Aragorn (In-Depth Analysis)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The descendent of Isildur, Aragorn is the heir to the throne of Gondor, but at the beginning of the trilogy, he hides this identity and pretends to be a ranger named Strider.
That Aragorn does not claim his throne, and that the steward Denethor rules Gondor, show the disunity and weakness of man at the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring.
When he publicly pronounces his identity during the initial meeting of the fellowship, he rouses the jealousy of Boromir, who is heir to the steward of Gondor.

Their home is gone and the Men of Gondor have built the defenses and improved the fleets, they call themselves the “True Corsairs of Umbar,” and their presence in the land is justly feared for they have bested the enemy even in their own tactics.

Firstly, your constant mention hate for Aragorn, son of Arathorn, Strider, Elessar, Isildur’s heir and heir to the Throne of Gondor might not go down too well with fanatics who believe that he is the rightful heir to the throne.

Denethor II, son of Ecthelion II was the last Ruling Steward of Gondor.
Denethor opposed relinquishing the throne of Gondor to a descendant of Isildur, as Gondor's kings were descendants of Anarion, Isildur's brother.
In his pride and concern for Gondor, Denethor chose to look into the palantir to try to determine the actions of Sauron, and so fell under the Dark Lord's power, for Sauron had recovered the palantir of Minas Ithil centuries before.
