Hardang was a Chieftain of the Haladin in the First Age.

History[edit | edit source]

He descended from Halmir of the House of Haleth, and was the son of Hundad son of Hundar.[1] After the death of the Chieftain of Brethil, Handir, Hardang tried to have his cousin, Brandir dismissed of the throne in favor of himself. Many believed Brandir was unfit to rule and supported Hardang.

After the death of Brandir a new Chieftain had to be elected. As Brandir had no children the Men of Brethil wished for his cousin Manthor to take up the line, however they were connected by a daughter, and thus Hardang won the election. Hardang promoted Manthor to become the Captain of the Guards at the Crossings of Taeglin.

Within two years of Hardang's rule, rumors of the return of Húrin Thalion began spreading. Hardang disliked the House of Hador for he had no blood relation, and upon Húrin's return, at the Folkmoot, Manthor defended Húrin against Hardang.

The Folk of Brethil were angered by Hardang actions and burned the Hall of the Chieftains. Hardang attempted to escape but was hit with a spear in his back and he perished.
