Turin I
Sixth ruling-Steward of Gondor, Turin I was born in 2165 of the Third Age. He was the son of Steward Hurin I. Turin I became Steward in 2244 after the death of his father.
Turin I ruled during the Watchful Peace, so therefore the people of Gondor enjoyed peace with its enemies from the east. Turin I married twice, having several daughters before finally producing a son in 2245.
Turin I reigned until his death in 2278, and he was succeeded by his young son Hador as Steward.

Names & Meanings
The name Túrin is Sindarin for "he who desires mastery." It can be derived from from tûr, meaning "mastery" and in from ind, meaning "desire." Turin was undoubtedly named after Turin Turambar, a legendary figure from the First Age. There was also another Steward of Gondor by that name.
