Aragorn vs. Denethor....??? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't think the"Gondor has no king" quote is direct but I am sure that Faramir says that Boromir was always asking his father how long it would be before a Steward could become king and Denethor more or less said never..... so I think Denethor would have "done the right thing" even if he had been mighty unhappy about it...because basically he is a numenorean ... I mean Imrahil doesn't question Aragorn's authority for a moment and he is of comparable status..... I think Denethor had become too passive to organise a rebellion but I think he would have been a blight on things..... I agree that he wouldn't have lasted long......
