THe rangers were the final remnant of the kings af Arnor, of the kingdom of Arthedain, if I am not mistaken. They preserved the line of the Kings for years after their kingdoms fell, unlike the kingdom of Gondor that retained its kingdom, but lost its lineage. There is more in the Unfinished Tales and in the appendix to LotR.
