This is why I've Always thought that Conan the Barbarian series was superior to Lord of the Rings, when it comes to early-mid 20th century Fantasy. Conan becomes king by the sweat of his own brow, by force of will, and by sheer tenacity. Aragorn, on the other hand, just happened to have been born to the right family.
