Hador was the seventh Ruling Steward of Gondor.

Biography

Hador was born in TA 2245 and was the only son of his father Túrin I. Following his father's death in TA 2278 Hador became the seventh Ruling Steward of Gondor, and the seventh steward to rule during the era known as the Watchful Peace. During his time as Steward and on the three hundredth anniversary of the Steward's Reckoning, the calendar system created by Mardil Voronwë was modified by Hador, adding one day to it to make it more accurate. Hador ruled Gondor until his death in TA 2395 at the age of 150 years old after a rule of one-hundred and seventeen years. Upon his death he was succeeded by his son Barahir.

Hador was the last noble Man of Gondor to live such a long life.[3]

Etymology

Hador (or hadron) is a Quenya word which means "thrower of spears or darts".[4]

Trivia

  • Hador ruled Gondor for 117 years; his Stewardship was longer than the reigns of the final kings of Numenor.
