Denethor I (Third Age 2375[2] – 2477,[3] aged 102 years) was the tenth Ruling Steward of Gondor.
History
Denethor was probably named after the leader of the Laiquendi in the First Age, as it was customary in the House of Húrin to name sons after legendary figures.[4]
During the time of Denethor’s rule the Watchful Peace came to an end (in T.A. 2460) when Sauron returned with increased strength to Dol Guldur.[5] Unbeknownst to Gondor, the lords of Minas Morgul had secretly bred a fell race of black Orcs, the Uruk-hai, and in T.A. 2475 these creatures assailed and overran Ithilien. Although they captured Osgiliath and destroyed the great stone-bridge, Denethor’s son, Boromir, defeated the host of Morgul and regained Ithilien. However, from that time on no people dwelt in that region, and for Gondor there was never full peace again until after the defeat of Sauron.[6]
Denethor I ruled as Steward for forty-two years, and was succeeded by his son Boromir.[3]
