In briefanswer capsule

Cirion was the twelfth Ruling Steward of Gondor, of the House of Húrin, and died in 2567 of the Third Age. His realm’s reach was short; he could chiefly defend the borders. Corsairs struck the coasts, while the Balchoth pressed from the north. In 2510 they crossed the Anduin. Northern help came late, but Eorl the Young and the Rohirrim overcame them. Cirion gave Calenardhon to Eorl, who swore the Oath of Eorl.
