Bregolas (F.A. 393-455[1]) was the third Lord of Ladros.
History
Bregolas was the elder son and fourth child of Bregor and a direct descendant of Bëor the Old. He inherited the lordship because his two elder siblings were females, Bregil and Hirwen.
His brother was Barahir and his sisters were Bregil, Hirwen and Gilwen. Barahir his brother was the father of Beren Erchamion; Bregolas himself had two sons, Baragund and Belegund.[1] Bregolas fought in Dagor Bragollach beside Angrod and Aegnor; he was slain with them.[2]
Genealogy
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]
