Bregolas (F.A. 393-455[1]) was the third Lord of Ladros.

History

Bregolas was a son of Bregor and a direct descendant of Bëor the Old. He inherited the lordship because his two elder siblings were females.

His brother was Barahir, father of Beren Erchamion; he himself had two sons, Baragund and Belegund.[1] Bregolas fought in Dagor Bragollach beside Angrod and Aegnor; he was slain with them.[2]

Etymology

In The Etymologies, Bregolas is said to be an Exilic Noldorin word for "fierceness", from the root BERÉK-.[3]

Other Versions of the Legendarium

In the The Grey Annals, created in the 1930s,[4] Bëor was directly followed by Bregolas and Barahir, who were his sons (and Bregolas was born in F.A. 400[5]). After publication of The Lord of the Rings a new genealogy for the House of Bëor was made in the 1950s and at that time four generations were inserted after Bëor, with Bregor becoming the father of Bregolas and Barahir.[6]
