Aragorn's claim to the Throne of Gondor
One of his ancestor's Andruvi (SP?) try the claim and failed. The reason being that Isildur left the throne to his nephew. and they chose another from the of Elendil. ( a cousin to the former king I believe)
Why should Aragorn's claim hold? ( aside from Faramir being laid back) Was it becuase there was NO other of Elendil's blood around and of his military prowess.
