Glóredhel (F.A. 415-472) was the eldest child and only daughter of Hador and Gildis, and she was the sister of Galdor and Gundor.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
At a great feast of the Edain, Glóredhel married Haldir and Galdor married Hareth, both children of Halmir, chief of the House of Haleth.[2] Glóredhel was the mother of Handir, who was in turn the father of Brandir the Lame.[1]
She died of grief after learning her husband had been killed in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad ("Battle of Unnumbered Tears").[3]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Glóredhel means "Elf of the Golden Light" in Sindarin, from glaur- ("holy golden light") + edhel ("Elf"). She was so named because of her radiant blonde hair and height, which was comparable to an Elf.

In early drafts of the legendarium, Glóredhel was named Glorwendil.[1]
