The extreme similarities between King Earnur and Boromir are well known.

It was Eanur after all who put the kingdom into the constitutional crisis which led to the creation of the Ruling Stewardship. It's really quite an interesting comparison because of the similarities to Tolkien's thoughts on ofermod and the right duty of a warrior in The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth. There's an old thread around here someowhere on the topic. Perhaps if I find it I can edit this with a link to that discussion. EDIT: found it: Here's the link Barrow Downs thread discussing "The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth". Some fab contributions by Squatter and davem in particular.
