I also considered Boromir, but he doesn't fit, not really.
But now I am intrigued...

If you are right about the line ans the law, Urwen, I wonder if this has anything to do with Arvedui's claim to the throne of Gondor via his wife. I am not sure who the victor would be in this scenario though.

I see it now. Pelendur is the answer. Explanation...
The choice is mine: - Pelendur's The victor who failed, - Earnil The line that failed, - Arvedui's claim Or the law that failed. - Firiel's claim Which? - And he chose the victor.

The second closest precedent is actually the reverse: Lalia the Great was head of the Took family for 22 years by something close to right of her husband, at least after his death. Somehow I don't think the Gondorians were using Shire-Hobbit inheritance rules though! Anyway, I prefer to believe that Firiel was a candidate in her own right, and that the Gondorians suppressed mention of her afterwards. Sounds plausible. Over to you! hS
