But considering the time frame and level of technology, it was almost the same. I never said that governing Spain had been easy, just a lot easier once the Moors (or forces of Mordor and Isengard) were driven out or destroyed. In case my point wasn't clear enough, governing Arnor and Gondor together wasn't hard enough that one set of monarchs couldn't handle it (e.g. Elessar and Arwen), which was the main point of this thread--"was it too much for Elessar?"
