Makes you wonder if Elendil et al were actually the Numenoreans most closely related to Elros after the downfall. After 3000ish years of intermarriage on Numenor perhaps some of the 'Kings Men' who survived in Umbar or even some of the faithful in Northern Middle Earth had a better claim to the throne.
The house of Elendil must have had the best spin doctors!
