Gondor's Kings

[Afrodal Fenyar]

Elendil was the High King of both Arnor and Gondor. Elendil ruled Arnor alone, while his sons Isildur and Anarion ruled Gondor as, Elendil's appanages.

After Elendil fell Isildur named Meneldil, Anarion's son, as his appanage, but he himself was the High King and ruler of Arnor. And as Morwen said, Meneldil didn't accept the rulership of Valandil after Isildur's death.

Arnor broke, but the kings of Arthedain were the heirs of Isildur. After Arthedain's fall, this line was known as the Chieftain's of the dunedain. Aragorn therefore descended from Isildur and his father Elendil, who was the High King, and even though Meneldil had refused Valandil's rulership, Aragorn was legally the king of both Arnor and Gondor, being the High King.

At least I think so :P Hope you understand, wrote this in a hurry
