Gil-galad was my king, I remember rushing the walls and...no more. Alas, it was a dark day, a bloody day; Anarion had fallen but a little while before.

"Of course this takes nothing away from what you have said about Gil-galad." Thanks for agreeing.

If I can find a minute sometime today, I will try to look up the text from the HoMe and post it here. I'm not even sure which of the 3 books it is in. I think it may be Morgoth's Ring, but I'm not positive. If you have the last three volumes of the HoMe: (Morgoth's Ring; War of the Jewels- which is the Later Silmarillion, and The Peoples of Middle-earth,) you will find many corrections that CT has made and how his father really meant for the Silmarillion to be.

slight deviation, but do any of you think Chistopher will do a second addition of the sil, and correct the mistakes he made?

I would have to say Ingwe. The King of the Vanyar and high king of all Elves.
After him I would say Finwe, Feanor's father. |

Feanor. Notwithstanding that he nearly led the Noldor to ruin in the short time he was King, one can hardly name a King, or an Elf, for that matter, who accomplished more.

Greetings
I would have to choose between 3. My first choice would be Gil-Galad, then Finrod Felagund would be a very close second. The third would be Turgon of Gondolin.
