The House of the Kings on Rath Dínen in Minas Tirith was the building wherein the kings of Gondor were buried.[1] It was in this place on 1 March Fo.A. 120[2] that Aragorn laid down and died, after bidding farewell to Eldarion and giving unto him the Winged Crown of Gondor.[3] It is said that the beds of Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took were set beside the bed of Aragorn in the House of the Kings.[2]
