[Anguirel]

To be quite honest, Lhuna, that's unadulterated balderdash...

A Sinda of higher lineage than Amdir of Lorinand, had Celeborn chosen he could have rightfully taken the title of King of Lothlorien, by virtue of his kinship to Thingol, the greatest Sindar ruler ever known, and the first.

Moreover, his rulership shows he would have deserved such a title. While his wife absorbed herself in moral conundrums and dilemmas over the Rings of Power, she would have stayed within Caras Galadhon, weaving cloaks, and staring into the Mirror. To the natives of Lothlorien, she would have been a distant figure.

Celeborn, by contrast, spoke Sindar as his native tongue, led armies of Lothlorien in person, and was even aware of the local surroundings outside. His people would have been familiar with him as their patriarch and, yes, as their Lord-quite deserved.
