Should this not be 2 separate articles? I was confused when I heard that Boromir son of Denethor was an EXTREMELY distant ancestor of Aragorn ;).

[edit] Double Boromir

I don't think there's enough information on Boromir I to warrant an entire article about him.

[edit] Cite Checks

• "His fearlessness and greatness in battle was known all over western Middle-earth." There is a cite needed beside that. I don't remember that either. I think that should just be removed. He was well known in Gondor, but not all over western middle earth. -Royalguard11^Talk 03:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I think he was, because when he went to Lothlorien one of the elves lamented over his death and siad he was a great warrior of Middle-earth (or something to that affect). --Ted87 04:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Irk? When Boromir went ot Lothlorien... he was still alive. Ergo, the elves did not lament his death. Are you thinking of Gandalf perhaps? The elves of Lothlorien certainly lamented his death. --CBD 22:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

My mistake (it has been a while since I read LOTR). It was Éomer who lamented over his death, not an elf. In The Two Towers when Éomer spoke of his death he said "'Your news brings woe!' cried Éomer in dismay. 'Great harm is this death to Minas Tirith, and to us all. That was a worthy man! All spoke his praise. He came seldom to the Mark, for he was ever on the wars on the East-borders; but I have seen him." In my book it is page 436, but my books paging is kind of weird, so it's about the 16th page in "The Riders of Rohan". So he was at the least, known in Rohan. --Ted87 06:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boromir's Sindarin Heritage

Since Boromir's Mother (Findulias) was the younger sister to Prince Imrahil and Prince Imrahil was noted as being descended from both Numenorean and Grey Elf blood going back to the 2nd Age why did Tolkien downplay this in both Boromir and Faramir's characterizations?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Newline-boromir2.jpg

Fair use added. SkierRMH 06:47, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor

That should be added to popular culture 86.152.162.171 (talk) 16:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The origin of Boromir's name

It states in both of the other Boromirs' articles that Boromir of Gondor was named after them. What the shit? 03:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)03:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
