The Dunedain

[Snowdog]

In The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen it says that Gilraen is descended from Aranarth, who is of course a descendant of Ondoher on his mother's side.

Right. I had forgotten this bit of heritage .

Of Aranarth, I guess it would have been politically impossible for him to proclaim himself rightful heir to the throne of Gondor and Arnor due to his heritage being traced to Isildur and Anarion right after the northern Dúnedain got their collective butts kicked by the Witch King and with Eärnur, the guy who was proclaimed King of Gondor after Arvedui's claim was rejected by the Steward came with a sizable army and bailed them out.
