 | | These may be added, for though not in the direct line, the Hurinionath, the family to which Pelendur and Mardil belonged, were of Numenorean blood hardly less pure than that of the kings, and undoubtedly had some share in the actual blood of Elendil and Anarion. |
 | | It could,however be that Faramir meant that his house is not of the direct, father-to-son line of Elendil (remember that Pelendur rejected Arvedui's claim to the throne of Gondor on behalf of his wife Firiel who was the daughter of Ondoher, the last King of Gondor of the line of Anarion). |
 | | Personally,I think it highly unlikely that a Hurin never married at least a younger daughter of one of the Kings,so I felt justified in creating a granddaughter for Elendil who married an ancestor of Faramir's,especially as Tolkien rarely mentioned daughters in his histories of the kings and Stewards. |
