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 Ñoldorin lady named ''Eldalôtë'' (''Edhellos'' 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 Teleri n Quenya name ''Angarato'', which means "Iron Champion". 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. |
