Minardil, T.A. 1454[1] - 1634,[2] was the twenty-fifth King of Gondor.
History
Since the end of the Kin-strife, when the sons of Castamir the Usurper escaped to Umbar, the rebels had unceasingly made war upon Gondor, raiding the coast and assailing ships. However, in T.A. 1634 Minardil visited Pelargir, thinking that because his father Hyarmendacil II had soundly defeated the Haradrim that there was no peril. He was wrong for spies informed Castamir's gread-grandsons Angomaitë and Sangahyanda of the King's presence in the city. Quickly they launched a great raid in which Minardil was slain, Pelargir ravaged, and great booty taken.[1]
During Minardil's brief reign his Steward was Húrin of Emyn Arnen. After Minardil's reign the Kings always chose their stewards from among Húrin's descendants, and eventually the Stewardship would become hereditary within the House of Húrin.[3]
