'''Hathaldir''' was one of the the thirteen men who fled into outlawry after the fall of [[Dorthonion]] in the [[Dagor Bragollach]] ("Battle of Sudden Flame"). Led by [[Barahir]] and his son [[Beren]], this small band retreated into the highlands above their invaded homes, where they waged a secret war against [[Morgoth]]'s forces for a time. At last, they were betrayed by [[Gorlim the Unhappy]], and Hathaldir was slain with almost all the others (only Beren escaped death).

We know almost nothing else of Hathaldir's life, but it seems fair to assume from his title "Hathaldir the Young" that he was the youngest of Barahir's outlaw companions.

Hathaldir the Young (died F.A. 460) was a member of Barahir's Outlaw Band.

History

Hathaldir fought in the Dagor Bragollach under the command Barahir. He was part of a small group of men loyal to their lord that survived.[1] The survivors formed a small band and lived as outlaws in Dorthonion, near Tarn Aeluin.

They lived in hiding for some time, until Morgoth's agents captured his outlaw-member Gorlim and coerced him into giving the location of their hideaway. Orcs were sent to raid it, and succeeded. Hathaldir and the other outlaws were killed. Only Beren survived, as he had been away on an errand.[2]
