ok, a question, is this only resticted to them, or there are othes who share this?

That's true, but that was Thorin III. Stonehelm and Bard II. son of Brand as well...

...and that's true as well, but then I could include Frodo with the lot of them...

...so as you see, the answer is restricted to them. Or, to be precise, technically I am quite sure it was not restricted to them, but a) we are not told about it, and b) the concept of the question itself is put in that way that what I am asking just what do these two have in common. It's them who are important here - the emphasis is on this part of the question; and that determines the type of the question.

They were both fostersons of a lord that was kin to them?

They both led the assault against the southern lands together.

No, no, not such a "plain fact" in that sense... think more... more... more concrete things.

They were both innate leaders. What do you mean by more concrete?
