Angrod

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth universe, Angrod was a son of Finarfin and lord of the Noldor. Angrod means "iron-eminent one" in Sindarin.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details about The Silmarillion follow.

Angrod was the elder brother of Galadriel and Aegnor, and the younger brother of Finrod Felagund. Together with Aegnor he held the highlands of Dorthonion against Morgoth. Aegnor and Angrod were both killed in the Dagor Bragollach.

His wife was a Noldorin lady named Eldalôtë (Eðellos in Sindarin). His son was Orodreth. Angrod was thus the grandfather of Gil-galad, Orodreth's only son.

His name was a Sindarized form of his Telerin Quenya name Angarato, which means "Iron Champion".

[edit] Earlier versions of the legendarium

In the published The Silmarillion, Orodreth is given as Angrod's brother instead. This was an editorial decision by Christopher Tolkien which he admitted as a mistake.
