Bregolas (F.A. 393-455[1]) was the fifth chieftain of the House of Bëor and third Lord of Ladros.
Bregolas was slain, along with a great part of the warriors of his folk, in the assault upon the defences of Dorthonion during the Dagor Bragollach.[2] His brother Barahir, Barahir's son Beren, and Bregolas' own sons Baragund and Belegund were not at this time slain, and continued resisting Morgoth.
Bregolas was further the grandfather of both Morwen and Rían.
Etymology
In The Etymologies, Bregolas is said to be an Exilic Noldorin word for "fierceness", from the root BERÉK-.[3]

Other versions of the legendarium
In the The Grey Annals, created in the 1930s,[4] Bëor was directly followed by Bregolas and Barahir, who were his sons (and Bregolas was born in F.A. 400[5]). After publication of The Lord of the Rings a new genealogy for the House of Bëor was made in the 1950s and at that time four generations were inserted after Bëor, with Bregor becoming the father of Bregolas and Barahir.[6]
