Boromir, Faramir, and the Blood of Numenor.
Okay, I haven't read RotK in about 2 years so i'll post this question in the Novice forum. In RotK Gandalf makes some remark about Faramir having the some of the old Numenorian blood because of his valiant character. Could Boromir of had some of Numenor's blood as well? I know that he was corrupted by the ring but he still escaped the ring's hold in the end. In my book that speaks of great character. Denethor certinally had no such strength so the brothers must of got it from their mother. Who was Boromir's and Faramir's mother anywho. Could she be desended from ancient Numenorians?
