Corrections in the House of Finwë family tree...
As you most likely know, The Silmarillion contains various family trees of different "houses" and whatnot; however, the House of Finwë, strictly speaking, is incorrect.
While the most important details are perfectly correct (Fëanor being the son of Finwë and so on), there *are* a few details that I personally think should be re-edited in a possible future edition. Below are some differences I've found through research, and I guess most of you will find it fairly interesting. The names of the siblings are written from eldest to youngest, from left to right: *Ingwë had an older sibling, "?", whom in turn was the parent of Indis *Ingwë also had a child, and that child was named Ingwion *Olwë had two (younger?) brothers: Elwë and Elmo *Elmo had one son: Galadhon *Galadhon was the father of Celeborn *Indis bore Finwë four children: Findis, Fingolfin, Írimë and Finarfin *Fingolfin wedded a woman named Anarië *Fingolfin and Anarië had four children: Fingon, Turgon, Aredhel and Argon *Fingon was NOT the father of Gil-galad; Orodreth was the real father *Turgon indeed wedded Elenwë, but she's not mentioned in the family tree *Írimë had one son: Aranwë *Aranwë in turn had an own son: Voronwë, whom Tuor meets later *Orodreth was the son of Angrod *Angrod wedded a woman named Edhellos, and she bore him Orodreth *Orodreth was the father of Finduilas and Gil-galad Noteworthy events that were never published: *when Fëanor burns the ships at Losgar, Amras dies in the flames *Findis remains in Aman, but Írimë follows Fingolfin through the Helcaraxë *Argon is slain in the Dagor-nuin-Giliath Last edited by Peter_20 : 04-10-2007 at 08:04 AM. |
