 | | It should be noted therefore that royal traditions in the Dunedain realms grew out of Numenorean law, whereas Rohans kingship was most likely based on the customs of the Northmen. |  | | This study examines the power and role of kings in the realms of Gondor and Rohan, the regions for which there is the most detailed evidence. |  | | The extent to which kings were personally involved in war can be judged from the fact that of thirty- three kings of Gondor before Elessar (including Elendil and Anarien), ten of them died in battle. |

 | | The Frankish Major Domos were in some ways like Tolkien's stewards, in that they governed Frankish nations in the names of their kings, but the Major Domos eventually became kings. |  | | Generations of sons of Stewards must have asked the same question, time and again: "Why are we not the kings, if we rule the land?" The ancient oath of office, whereby the Steward takes up rule of the land "until the king returns", suddenly rings true in Boromir's ears. |  | | A descent from Eldacar would prevent the Stewards from claiming a purer bloodline than that of the Kings. |
