One must consider the history, especially of Gondor. The two highlights of concern are the Kin-strife, and the attempt by Arvedui to claim the throne of Gondor when the line of Kings came to an end with the death of Ondoher and his sons. It was a touchy issue, and Aragorn had to move carefully before proclaiming his Kingship in Gondor. The death of Denethor really helped this along.
