Interesting coincidences, Legalos. Thengel was accidentally left out of your list. Of course, if you had counted Frealáf for Rohan as you counted Beren for Gondor (for consistency's sake) this would have been eight kings of the Rohirrim. Also, it would have only been one crown between all fifteen of these men.

I think zacattack may have hit on the answer, that Saruman was not referring to any particular seven kings. Of course this is odd in the context, because there are exactly five rods and five wizards.

Did Dwarf Kings wear crowns? Surely they must have, but I can't recall any mention of them.
