Both their daughters were quite wilful - they made their own decisions, etc...?

Both had elvish blood in them?

No ... I'm thinking of Aredhel as in a Noldo who lived in the First Age, the sister of Fingon and Turgon, Gil-galad. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

They both married bold, masterful men, and were eventually (directly or indirectly) killed by them.

Aredhel --> the poisoned dart flung by Eol
Finduilas --> when darkness began to "contaminate" Denethor, she sensed it, and began to "fade."

Okay, you're basically there. You just need to be slightly more specific. Stay with the father/son thing.

They both took realms by the sea, or had things to do with swans (eg: swan knights of Dol Amroth and Swan ships of Aqualonde)

Herm...no clue, time to guess. Both their sisters bore two sons? Faramir and Boromir for Finduilas and Fingolfin and Finarfin for Indis.

Since Finwe hasn't checked in in over ten days, I'll steal the thread

What is the connection between

Gimli and Feanor

Going out on a limb here... both loved Galadriel? I think I remember reading that Feanor loved Galadriel, but she didn't love him.

Oh dear... I completely forgot about this thread... Anyway... in hindsight, the answer to mine was:

Both of their sisters had husbands who died untimely deaths.
