It certainly seems that those Lords of Gondor loved lying through their teeth. I'm wondering, was it Arvedui of Arnor who claimed the throne, basing his claim on his marriage to Firiel, Princess of Gondor? I'm sure that the same Laws of Succession in Numenor should have applied to the realms of Arnor and Gondor.
