 Turgon, 24th Ruling Steward   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
T.A. Turgon was the son of Túrin II of Gondor, and the grandfather of Denethor II, the last ruling Steward of Gondor.
Turgon was 30 at this time and presumably fought in his father's service, perhaps even at the side of the Rohirric princes.
Turgon's father refortified Cair Andros and ordered the creation of this hidden enclave behind these famous waterfalls for the soldiers of Ithilien, and it continued to be guarded through the War of the Ring.

 Turgon (Steward) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Turgon was the twenty-fourth Ruling Steward of Gondor.
Turgon was powerless to stop both events; at the time, Saruman was still considered an ally, though in fact he had not only made himself independent of Gondor, but had effectively stolen Isengard and was becoming a traitor.
Turgon was followed by his son Ecthelion II at his death in 2953.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Gondolin
The city was inviolate for almost four hundred years; Turgon did not break his secret leaguer until the time of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad in I 471, and even after that disastrous battle he was able to return in secret to the city with the aid of Húrin Thalion.
Turgon was lost in the Fall of the city, but some few (including Tuor and Idril, with their child Eärendil) escaped the destruction and dwelt as Exiles at the Mouths of Sirion.
Turgon now devised a new policy for the salvation of the Elves: he began secretly to send his people out westward across the great sea, to seek the land of the Valar and ask their pardon and aid.

Turgon seemed to be hiding a smile and I glared at him, fighting the high and tight collar on the shirt.
Turgon's shirt was so much smaller in the shoulders-not that he was small- that I had to remove it in the presence of the ogling maidens and Ecthelion.
Turgon and Ecthelion led me to a nearby hot spring; apparently its purpose was to serve as a bath for those who had used the practice arena.
