Naugladur was the king of the Dwarves of Nogrod in The Book of Lost Tales.
History
He led the attack against Menegroth to capture the Nauglafring. Later he fought with Beren in the Battle of Sarn Athrad and would have slain him, but stumbled and Beren slew him to reclaim the Nauglafring. With his dying words he cursed the treasure that he was bringing back to Nogrod, which Beren dumped in the river.[3]
Etymology
The name Naugladur was never explained by Tolkien, but it is likely a Goldogrin name meaning "King [of the] Dwarves".[4]
Notes
- ↑ In volume 12 of The History of Middle-earth the Dwarf-cities of Nogrod and Belegost are described as being inhabited by Dwarves of the Firebeard and Broadbeam clans. Based purely on word order, Nogrod appears to have been the domain of the Firebeard Dwarves.
