Bregor (F.A. 359 - 448) was the second Lord of Ladros.

History[edit | edit source]

Born into the House of Bëor, Bregor was the eldest child and only son of Boromir; his sisters were Andreth and Beril.

In total, Bregor fathered five children who were three daughters: Bregil, Hirwen and Gilwen, and two sons: Bregolas and Barahir.

When Bregor was 51 years old, the region of Ladros in Dorthonion was given to his House, and his father became its first Lord.[1] Bregor became the head of his House and Lord of Ladros after the passing of his father in 432. He ruled his people peacefully for sixteen years until his death, when Bregor was succeeded by his eldest son, Bregolas.

Through his many descendants, Bregor was a direct ancestor of the great heroes of men, Beren, Húrin, Túrin, and Tuor.[2] His weapon was a famed bow which became an heirloom of the House of Bëor.[3]

Other versions of the legendarium[edit | edit source]

In the The Grey Annals, created in the 1930s,[4] Bëor was followed by his sons Bregolas and Barahir. 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 (Baran, Boron, Boromir, and Bregor) were inserted after Bëor, with Bregor the father of Bregolas and Barahir.[2]
