Aragornâ€™s Claim to the Throne

It misses two points, though.

One: Aragorn was also descended from FÃ*riel and through her from the line of AnÃ¡rion, something this article conveniently omits.

Two: Erendis maaaay not be the most... reliable character witness for the worth of NÃºmenorean society and civilisation, 'cos the poor woman had issues, even if not all were of her own making, mind.

Although, part of me is now wishing Gondor actually had decided to go Republic when Aragorn showed up rather than restoring the monarchy, and he then got to be President for like say, two decades (to take them darn DÃºnedain lifespans into account). That would have been cool. (And then Aragorn would be succeeded by Faramir, and then after he did all allowed terms, Ã‰owyn could put in her candidacy and we could have watched the Gondorean political world go nuts over whether she was Gondorean enough for the office and she had to chase down her birth certificate and her parents' wedding certificate in Edoras' archives, hoping Ã‰omer's kids hadn't turned them into origami horses yet. Could have been more entertaining then another golden age of Gondor, just sayin'.
