How old is aragorn in lotr

Frodo put the ring on, rendering him invisible, and ran away from Boromir. Frodo climbed to the high seat on Amon Hen; from there he could see Sauron 's eye looking for him. Frodo would struggle against the power of Sauron, finally taking the ring off. Then Frodo knew what had to be done: He was to go alone to Mordor to destroy the ring. On the way back to the river he meets Sam, who goes with him. Aragorn at Amon Hen. At this same time, the others were attacked by Saruman's Uruk-hai and a battle ensued.

During the ensuing battle, Boromir was killed defending Merry and Pippin and giving up his desire for the ring in a last attempt to resist the ring. After discovering that Frodo had left, Aragorn and the others decided that they would leave Frodo and Sam to continue their quest on their own.

Legolas , Gimli , and Aragorn put Boromir's body and war gear in one of the elven boats as a funeral boat and tribute to Boromir for his bravery and courage. His body would be sent to the Falls of Rauros. The Three Hunters, by Ted Nasmith. Dejected, he led Legolas and Gimli to the site of the battle. Where now are the Dunedain, Elessar, Elessar? Where do thy kinsfolk wander afar? Near is the hour when the lost should come forth, And the Grey Company ride from the North.

But dark is the path appointed to thee: The Dead watch the road that leads to the Sea. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli then help the people of Rohan in the Battle of the Hornburg , in which they conclusively and victoriously defeated Saruman's army.

Saruman at first tries to bend Theoden to his will and at first Theoden is almost swayed but then he masters his will and refuses to join with Saruman. Saruman then sneers at Theoden and turns his attention to Gandalf and tries to sway him, only to be laughed at. Then Gandalf offers him a chance of repentance without limits. Saruman turns white in his face at this, sadly in the end however Saruman refuses to repent out of pride and to leave Orthanc. Gandalf breaks Saruman's staff as he is no longer the head and is banished from the Order of Wizards and The White Council.

But misses not being able to decide who he hated more Gandalf or Saruman. Thus ending the Battle of the Hornburg and the Battle of Isengard. In order to defend the city, Aragorn travelled the Paths of the Dead , and summoned the Dead Men of Dunharrow who owed allegiance to the King of Gondor. It had been prophesied by Isildur and Malbeth the Seer that the Dead would be summoned once more to pay their debt for betraying Gondor a millennia before. With their aid the Corsairs of Umbar were defeated.

Aragorn, a small force of Rangers, and a large contingent of men and soldiers from the southern regions then sailed up the Anduin to Minas Tirith. He died on March 25, of the Third Age.

His life was extended far beyond its natural limits by the effects of possessing the One Ring. At the time of his death, Gollum was about years old , a remarkable age for a creature who was once Hobbit-like, but he had been deformed and twisted in both body and mind by the corruption of the Ring.

This would make him years old at the time of the War of the Ring. But, that is what the movie says, Tolkien never gives an exact age for Legolas, although he hints several times that Legolas has lived for a very long time. There are no known dates concerning Legolas before TA This would make him younger than any other elf character in the series, including Arwen. So old that I almost feel young again, as I have not felt since I journeyed with you children.

Elrond was born in FA There were years in the First Age. The Second and Third Ages combined to make years. Elrond is when Sauron was defeated for the last time.

How old is Galadriel? Well, she is born in YT Celebrindor as we can see lived almost years earlier. His reign was the last before the rise of Angmar which happened during the rule of his son Malvegil.

Gondor during the lifetime of Celebrindor was at the peak of its power, none of the three great evils had yet struck. The Chieftains previous to Aragorn had been living into their s, except for those who had died an untimely death usually in battle.

Only Eru Iluvatar has the power to alter the natural lifespan of one of the Children. By altering the lifespan of Aragorn a stability was given to the new age following the major upheaval of the War of the Ring.

A minor ripple in the long symphony of the Great Music, but by doing so Eru added new hope into the new age. Aragorn indeed lived to be two hundred and ten years old, longer than any of his line since King Celebrindor; but in Aragorn Elessar the dignity of the kings of old was renewed. A tale of how the change in one word has implications to how we view Middle-earth.
