Question about Arwen and Aragorn

Ok, so this is what I heard. I heard that Aragorn is very distantly related to Arwen, is this true? (When I mean distantly I mean a really long distance!)

Very very distantly. Elrond's brother, Elros, became the first Dunedain. Aragorn, being a Dunedain, is related to Elrond and Arwen in that way. But there are many generations between Aragorn and Elros.

yea...if they were like real people in our time it would be a legal marriage because of how distant the relation is

Like royalty marriages 😛

VERY distant---
Elros was the first King of Númenóre, and after some generations the daughter of a king wedded the Lord of Andúnie; last Lord was Amandil, father of Elendil the Long whose heir (about 40 generations between, I think - kings of Gondor, Arnor, Arthedain and lords of the Dúnedain) is Aragorn.
Unfortunately, not all names of the Lords of Andúnie are known 🙁

Arwen is Elros' niece.

lol it kinda helps to be 2900 yrs old( arwen's age).......ur relation will lessen with time

rofl yes or elrond... he's even related to imrahil and boromir...

yes well aragorn tends to like the older women doesnt he? lol but yes its a very very distant relation. i know that aragorn was raised by elrond after his mother died but didnt see arwen till his mid 20s i think...

This is part of the geneology of Aragorn

Malach (Aradan)
Magar

Galdor=Hareth
Huor=Rian
Tuor=Idril

Earendil=Elwing
Elros (Elros Tar-Minyator) and brother Elrond

Arador
Arathorn II
Aragorn II (Elessar Telcontar)=Arwen

i think aragorn ( estel as he was know then ) met Arwen when he was 20 i think
and the funny thing is that he was singing the song of how luthen and beren met when he first saw her.......strange huh

Yeah he thought the song had come to life 😛
So he called her "tinuviel! tinuviel" and she was totally confused 😄

The cut where the names arent known is between Vardamir and Amandil; there are just few of the lords' names written down in the books.

Exa wrote in my other thread:
"Isildur was not Tar-Elendil's son; but Tar-Elendils daughter Silmarien was the mother of Valandil, the first Lord of Andúnie and ancestor of Earendur, whose grandson Amandil was father of Elendil, the father of Isildur"

So the geneaology concerning Tar-Amandil to Eldacar should look like this (for those keeping track of such matters):

Tar-Amandil
Tar-Elendil
Silmarien
Valandil (1st Lord of Andunie)
Amandil (Lord of Andunie)
Elendil
Isildur
Valandil
Eldacar

Thanks again to Exa for his careful study of details.

🙂

Thanks for the listing

I looked at my genealogies again;
Amandil was the son of Númendil
(sorry so he was not Earendur grandson but great-grandson... my mistake) and the 18th Lord of Andúnie; so Elendil wouldve been the 19th.

Aragorn's mother's parents also came from Aranarth's line but nothing further is known about that.
