The Chieftain of the Dúnedain was the leader of the Rangers of the North, a title first taken by Aranarth as the north-kingdom of Arnor had been destroyed in the Fall of Fornost.
The title was hereditary, and was passed down through 16 chieftains to the last holder, Aragorn. He held that title until he was crowned High King of the Reunited Kingdom after the War of the Ring.
