Lord of Belegost was a title for one who ruled over the Dwarven city of Belegost. It seems that his people represented the Broadbeam clan, and it is possible that the Lord of Belegost was descended from one of the seven Fathers of the Dwarves. A heirloom of the Lords of Belegost had been the pearl Nimphelos given by Thingol.[1]
Most famous of Belegost's Lords, and indeed the only one independently named, was Azaghâl.[2] He ruled in the later years of the First Age, and it was for this Lord that the famous Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin was originally made. He fought with his people in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, where he was slain by Glaurung, but he succeeded in wounding the Dragon so deeply that it fled back to Angband.
