BregolasThe elder brother of BarahirThe elder son (though third child) of Bregor of the House of Bëor. Bregolas had three children of his own, through each of whom he became ancestor of a famous line. His daughter Bereth was a distant ancestor of Erendis of Númenor; his elder son Baragund was grandfather of Túrin Turambar; and his second son Belegund was grandfather to Tuor. After the death of his father Bregor, Bregolas would have become the head of the House of Bëor. He served with the Elf-lords Angrod and Aegnor in the northern land of Dorthonion, and he was by their side when the forces of Angband launched the sudden and devastating attack that would become known as the Dagor Bragollach. Bregolas died quickly in that assault, but his sons survived to join their uncle Barahir. With Dorthonion under Morgoth's control, they became outlaws in the land of their father. Notes
