| I |
Calimehtar |
(ruled for 80 years to II 1936)
In Calimehtar's time, Gondor was plagued by attacks from the Easterlings known as the Wainriders. The King achieved a great victory over them in III 1899, and the following year1 he erected the White Tower on the summit of Minas Anor. He would thus have been Lord of the White Tower for the last thirty-six years of his eighty-year reign. |
| II | Ondoher |
(Ruled for 8 years to III 1944) |
| III | Eärnil II |
(Ruled for 98 years to III 2043)
After Ondoher's loss in battle with both his direct heirs, the Council of Gondor took a year of deliberation before choosing the new King. Thus it was not until III 1945 that Eärnil II was crowned as Ondoher's successor. |
| IV | Eärnur |
(Ruled for 7 years to III 2050)
Eärnur was lost in Minas Morgul and left no heir. After his time the Lords of the White Tower were no longer Kings, but styled themselves Ruling Stewards of the House of Húrin. |

| XX |
Orodreth |
(Ruled for 30 years to III 2685) |
| XXI | Ecthelion I |
(Ruled for 13 years to III 2698)
When Ecthelion succeeded to the Stewardship, the White Tower built by King Calimehtar had stood for nearly eight hundred years. Ecthelion made plans to rebuild the Tower, and in the last year of his short rule his new White Tower was completed. The rebuilt Tower became known as the Tower of Ecthelion, and it survived at least until the time of the War of the Ring, more than three hundred years later. |

| XXX |
Denethor II |
(Ruled for 35 years to 15 March III 3019) |
| XXXI |
Faramir |
(Ruled for 46 days to 1 May III 3019)
Faramir succeeded his father Denethor II after the appearance of a recognised heir to the Kingship. He ruled for only a brief period during III 3019, after which he formally surrendered the rule of Gondor to Aragorn Elessar. It is doubtful whether Faramir would have claimed the title 'Lord of the White Tower' for himself during this period, but as a formal Ruling Steward of Gondor - however briefly - he is included in this list. |
|
| XXXII |
Aragorn Elessar |
(Ruled for 122 years to IV 120)
Aragorn was not a direct successor to the earlier Kings who had been Lords of the White Tower, but rather a descendant of Isildur, the elder brother of Anárion from whom the former Kings of Gondor claimed royal descent. |
| XXXIII |
Eldarion |
(Ruled from IV 120)
Aragorn Elessar founded a line of Kings through his little-known heir Eldarion. Through this line, the Lordship of the White Tower would have continued into the Fourth Age, but Eldarion is the last Lord named in records. |
