History[edit | edit source]
Beldis was born in F.A. 411, the second child of Arachon and Bregil of the House of Bëor. She married Handir, the lord of the Haladin and they had a son called Brandir the Lame (whom Beldis named after her brother Brandir) who was born in F.A. 465. Beldis' son Brandir the Lame later became the last chieftain of the Haladin.[1]
Genealogy[edit | edit source]
Comment[edit | edit source]
Christopher Tolkien comments that the introduction of Beldis in the genealogies was a later addition by his father to make Brandir a second cousing of Túrin from both the houses of Bëor and of Hador.[2] However, no explanation is given on how Beldis could marry a man thirty years younger than her or give birth to Brandir being 54 years old. Even though both cases are not completely impossible, this was probably a miscalculation on J.R.R. Tolkien's part during this later addition. Even if he should have included another generation between her and Brandir, it is clear he intented Beldis to be Brandir's mother, as he was named after his uncle.[1]
