I always thought that Bombadil's vision was of the Rangers and the man with the star on his brow was Aragorn. The Rangers did not come into existence until the fall of the North Kingdom, so Beren, Earendil, Elendil, etc., were not actually Rangers. The star on his brow probably represents the Star of Elendil, called the Elendilmir, that was one of the heirlooms of the North Kingdom. It was used by the Kings of Arnor instead of a crown. It was worn by Aragorn at his coronation. Note the descripton, '...but his head was bear save for a star upon his forehead bound by a slender fillet of silver.' [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
