It may be stated somewhere but I cannot remember reading it.
Beren had the ring, likely passed it to Dior and from Dior to Elwing.
Then it could have been passed to Elrond or Elros.
If Elros, it likely went to the Lords of the Andunie via Silmarien (eldest child of Tar Elendil) and then...
The moment he reclaims his sword and his rightful place as king. Hence royalty and the bloodline and has palace privileges. Means he gets upgraded in rank. From Ranger - Paladin

This just sparks in my mind...
You know when Strider meet Hobbits in Bree? And he had to convince them to trust him, and they didn't, until they read Gandalf's letter.
Well, that's Ok.
But later, in Rivendell, we see that Aragorn knows Bilbo very well. They are friends. Bilbo made a poem...
I wanted to know after seeing a joke by Spoony
But i found the origin of the word from etymonline.org
Here is what it literally means

(from French paladin "a warrior" (16c.), from Italian paladino, from Latin palatinus "palace official;" noun use of...

At the Nirnaeth Arnoediad Huor tells Turgon
I always assumed that this prophesy referred to Earendil, since he came from Turgon and Huor's houses. But then I realized, Aragorn is also descended from Turgon and Huor, and his elvish name is Estel, which means hope. Also, one of his titles is...
What do you think Aragorn felt for Eowyn?
Could have part of him liked her if he wasn't devoted to Arwen?
I found this excerpt, too, although Wikipedia is not accurate, and so it has to be confirmed by users who have researched the topic:
Where do you think their characters differ so much, so...
I noticed while watching the LOTR movies that there are several references to Aragorn's elvish name "Estel" which means "hope". For instance, when Elrond is speaking to Arwen about Aragorn in TTT he says "Hope is gone. Hope is not coming back" (or something along those lines). I thought that...
I'm trying to recreate Aragorn's coronation scene crown for a Halloween costume, but the crowns available online are too expensive. I'm attempting to make one myself, but don't know what materials to use or how to make it. Any suggestions?
Aragorn could have claimed the Ring, had he wanted to, as he was Isildur's heir. If he had been made Ringbearer, do you think he would have been able to take the Ring to Mordor like Frodo (or better) or would he succumb to it like Boromir? Aragorn was certainly mightier than Frodo, but Gandalf...
In Hammond and Scull's Reader Companion to the LOTR, H and S claim that Tolkien at some stage in the writing of the LOTR intended Aragorn and Eowyn to marry. If this had happened in the story, would Faramir and Arwen find true love elsewhere - in each other's arms maybe? Note that's not meant to...
Chapter 9 of Book II
The Company are on the move now and now by boat on the great River Anduin. Even so, the Company seem reluctant to move quickly letting themselves go with the flow of the river: putting off the east/west choice. Only Boromir seems certain of what he wants to do. Hints at...
I keep hearing all these different facts about the LOTR books and I never know which ones are correct. Google doesn't help so I am deciding to ask literally anybody else. Does anybody know if the age gap between Arwen and Aragorn and Legolas and Tauriel is the same? I'm just asking because...
"But Arwen went forth from the House, and the light of her eyes was quenched, and it seemed to her people that she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Then she said farewell to Eldarion, and to her daughters, and to all whom she had loved; and she went out...
A hugely important chapter in my opinion.
We get an excellent potted summary of important events in the Silmarillion and a most beautiful song poem about Tinuviel (nightingale) that is Luthien, and Beren. We find out what happened to Fatty Bolger and three of the Black Riders at Crickhollow in...
Here is a video where they forge the sword Narsil (based on its design in the movies). Then, they break it and reforge it into Andúril. It's pretty neat!
Strider and the hobbits return to the parlour (any left overs - probably not!) and Strider tries to persuade the hobbits to take him on as their guide. He explains his suspicions that Bill Ferny will tell Black Riders they are at The Prancing Pony. Frodo, and especially Sam, are reluctant to...
