Aragorn's Mom [In reply to] Can't Post
I think Butterbur's knowledge of Rangers was a bit limited. As Aragorn told somebody at the Council of Elrond, "Strider I am to one fat old man who lives within one day's march of foes who would freeze his heart." So, old Barliman here hardly knows much beyond Breeland does he?

We must not forget that Aragorn visits his mother somewhere right before she dies & the inference is It is not at Rivendel (or why would he go to visit her when he's often at Rivendel?). That's why I think there is a Ranger village. Plus, it says the Heirs of isildur are fostered at Rivendel in their youth. Where are all the other Rangers in their youth?
Where their mothers & sisters & old folks are......
In some village.

Finally, yes, I agree that Bombadil has most likely opened a few (or more) other barrows. However, even his knowing what to sing isn't proof of this as one would expect that old Tom would know the song for any occasion that would rise up - right on the spot.
