Tolkien - Arda Ancestry Part 4 - The House of Finwë was the Royal House of the Noldor. After Finwë's death the Kingship went to his eldest son Fëanor. His son Maedhros declined the Kingship after Fëanor's death and House of Fingolfin became the Royal Line of the Noldor. Fingolfin had two sons who would bear the title High King after him, Fingon the Valiant and Turgon of Gondolin. But Fingolfin also had a daughter. Who was she?
The correct answer is 'Aredhel'
Aredhel Ar-Feiniel was the third child of Fingolfin. Her name means Royal White Lady of the Noldor, she was very pale, dark haired and usually wore silver or white clothing. She followed her father and brothers back to Middle-Earth and lived with her brother Turgon. She loved to hunt with her kinsmen the sons of Fëanor. One day she desired to leave Gondolin and Turgon let her go, unwillingly. He appointed an escort to her to bring her to Fingon, their brother. But she decided to go to the sons of Fëanor, her friends of old. Her escort lost her in Nan Dungortheb. She finally came alone to Nan Elmoth. There she was ensnared by Eöl the Dark Elf, a kinsman of Elu Thingol of Doriath. She bore his son Maeglin but escaped from Eöl and went back to Gondolin, with her son after some time.
Eöl followed them and was allowed into Gondolin by Turgon. But he was not permitted to ever leave Gondolin again. Not wanting this doom he decided to kill himself and his son and shot a poisoned dart at Maeglin, but Aredhel sprang in front of her son and died. The Gondolindrim cast Eöl over the cliffs in punishment. It would be Maeglin who would betray the fair city of Gondolin later when he became captured.
Elenwë was Turgon's beloved wife and she was lost on the Grinding Ice of Helcaraxë. Their daughter was Idril Celebrindal (and thus granddaughter of Fingolfin) and she would marry Tuor of the Edain, son of Huor and the messenger of Ulmo. Their child would be Eärendil the Mariner. Míriel Serindë was the first wife of Finwë and mother of Fëanor. Fëanor's spirit was so fierce that she was spent after his birth and she passed away. Finwë married again, Indis of the Vanyar and she became the mother of Fingolfin and Finarfin and grandmother to Fingon, Turgon and Aredhel (and the children of Finarfin, including Galadriel).
