It's a lot harder to give appropriate levels of hint if you don't offer any reasoning. (For instance, if your reasoning was "the two kings are the Sun and the Moon", I'd offer a different amount of help than if you said "are Isildur and Aragorn".)

Well, it's not Sun and Moon. Even I know thar much.

So there are King's of the Noldor, Kings of Sindar, Kings of Numenor, Kings of Arnor and Gondor, Kings of Rohan, Kings of Moria...

And I know for a fact that Dior lost two sons, literally, in the woods. Now his descendants were

- Elwing
- Elrond & Elros

If we go through Elrond line, then we have

- Elladan and Elrohir, who have no recorded children.
- Arwen, who has one son, which still isn't enough for six steps.

If we go by Elros, we have

- Vardamir
- Amandil
- Elendil
- Meneldur, who only had one son. So that line of thinking is wrong.

Okay, I've ruled out Kings of Noldor (because there aren't six steps between them), Kings of Moria (because only few of those had multiple sons) and Kings of Numenor (because of those who had two sons, their sons didn't die in war).

And since you said no to Kings of Gondor and Arnor, this leaves Kings of Rohan.
