Well one king comes to mind when I think of Aragorn: King Alfred The Great!
Alfred was a King who fiercly defended England from the invading Vikings led by their leader, Guthrum. He drove them out and ruled England with a just firm hand.

Alfred reminds me of how Aragorn ruled Gondor after the War of the Ring, but anything before that I'm lost.
