Why Didn’t Aragorn’s Father Become King of Gondor? | Lord of the Rings

Описание: This video explores the historical background of Gondor’s throne, the events that took place long before the movies, and the reasons why Aragorn was accepted by the people of Gondor while Arathorn and his ancestors were not.
I also briefly revisit the War of the Last Alliance, Sauron’s defeat, and the roles of Elendil and his sons, Isildur and Anárion.
