BoromirThe eleventh Ruling Steward of Gondor
The Boromir who travelled with the Company of the Ring was not the first noble of Gondor to bear that name. More than five hundred years before the War of the Ring, his ancient ancestor, the son of Steward Denethor I, had borne it before him. Like the Boromir of The Lord of the Rings, the ancient Boromir was also a powerful warrior. It was while his father ruled Gondor that the race of the Uruk-hai first appeared, and Osgiliath was attacked and invaded. Boromir went to war and drove the enemy back from Ithilien for a while, but he sustained poisoned wounds in that war. Boromir's Morgul-wounds wracked him with pain and shortened his life. He lived only seventy-nine years, a fraction of the usual lifespan for one of his line. After he succeeded his father, his Stewardship was to last no more than twelve years, but it paved the way for the historic rule of his famous and illustrious son Cirion. Boromir ruled Gondor for twelve years, and was succeeded by his son Cirion. Notes
