Love LOTR as well! I never noticed those (oddly enough). The one about Aragorn and Martin is pretty good, but remember, Martin isn't a ruler, but more an adviser to Abbess Germaine. Although he is considered as one of the founders, so I guess that counts. But he's not the king of Mossflower, and Aragorn IS eventually King of Gondor (and a lot of the rest of Middle-earth, I would guess.). Still, it's a well thought out comparison. They could be coincidences, or they could be on purpose, we'll never know, but it's nice to see the similarities somehow.
