Aravis and Lisraleen explore the Tisroc's palace, and accidentally overhear a plan by the Tisroc and Prince Rabadash to invade Narnia.

 Eowyn and Aravis
"She[Aravis] was proud and could be hard enough but she was true as steel." Aravis was nearly exilled from her house by her proposed marriage, and her resulting displacement and the loss of her brother, who seems to have been very dear to her, I deem as cause to distance herself from anyone and everyone.
Hwin was a faithful mare, wise and careful in her speech, wherein Windfola, who I believe was a stallion, threw his lady and Merry at the Battle of Pellennor(sp?) fields and galloped away.
I'm not sure that their lineage is truly comparable like you said, yet they both married into high houses, Aravis to the King of Archeland (Cor was King by then I think) and Eowyn to the Prince of Ithilien.

 Behind the Name: Message: "Re: Aravis"
Apparently, "Aravis" is a name entirely invented by C.S. Lewis.
The writer points out that the names of the Calormenes (the race to which Aravis belongs) all have mock Arabic names, and the Calormenes don't compare favorably with the Narnians (who supposedly symbolize the British, or Western civilization).
The funny thing is (which the writer of this piece doesn't mention) is that Aslan (the Lion/Christ symbol first encountered in Narnia/The West?) means "lion" in Turkish.
