History
Beleth was two years older than her elder brother Baragund and four years older than her younger brother Belegund. After the Dagor Bragollach, most women and children of the house of Bëor were forced to flee Dorthonion. No tales relate the fate of Beleth; her brothers fell with Barahir when their band of outlaws was betrayed.[1]
Beleth's remote descendant in the Second Age was Beregar, father of Erendis.[2]
Genealogy
Other Versions of the Legendarium
In an early version of the House of Bëor, Beleth was the daughter of Boron and thus aunt to Bregor. In the last revision to the genealogy Beleth was moved down three generations.[2]
