+1 | Excellent answer. The Lay of Beren and Luthien is one of my favorites from the Silmarillion.– Thaddeus HowzeCommented Jul 30, 2013 at 23:25

So that means that They were cousins?– Jeremy FrenchCommented Jul 31, 2013 at 12:35

Yes. Aragorn's distant ancestor, Elros (dozens of generations), was Elrond's brother, meaning Arwen's grandfather was also a great-great----grandfather of Aragorn.– The FallenCommented Jul 31, 2013 at 13:25

1I think it important to point out that Luthien's mother, the Queen of Doriath was not an Elf but a Maia (an angelic being who existed before the world was made).– horatioCommented Jul 31, 2013 at 14:59

1Correct. But Luthien was not considered half-elven, because that term was used to describe those that are partially human. Since both parents were immortal, it didn't really affect her much.– The FallenCommented Jul 31, 2013 at 15:06

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
