Húrin of Emyn Arnen was the first recorded Steward of Gondor.
History
Húrin came from the hill region of Emyn Arnen and of noble Númenórean descent. Being a noble of high trust and wisdom, he was chosen to serve under King Minardil as Steward of Gondor.[2] During his service, Húrin laboured greatly on Gondor's behalf in the days of the Great Plague.[3]
Minardil's heirs opted to select their own Stewards not from any noble Gondorians, but from Húrin's sons and descendants; thus Stewardship was connected to the House of Húrin, and after some generations it became hereditary.[2]
