Galador was the first Prince of Dol Amroth.
History[edit | edit source]
According to legend, Galador was the son of Imrazôr the Númenórean and the Elf-maid Mithrellas.[2][1] The ancestors of the Princes of Dol Amroth were a family of the Faithful group of the Númenóreans who had left Númenor before its downfall and settled in the land of Belfalas with a stronghold upon a high promontory and had received the title "Prince" from Elendil with whom they were related. It is possible that this high promontory was named Dol Amroth after the drowning of Amroth, the last King of Lórien who was lost in the sea trying to swim back to the shore of Belfalas,[2] to remember Amroth.[3] Galador became known as the first Prince of Dol Amroth.[2][1]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Galador is probably a Sindarin name. Its meaning and components are not glossed, but it is perhaps a compound of galadh ("tree") and -dor ("lord", "king").[4]
