EspañolANGROD
In J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth universe, 'Angrod' (IPA: ) was a son of Finarfin and lord of the Noldor.
Angrod was the elder brother of Galadriel and Aegnor, and the younger brother of Finrod Felagund. He joined the Exile of the Noldor to Middle-earth, where together with Aegnor he held the highlands of Dorthonion against Morgoth. Aegnor and Angrod were both killed in the Dagor Bragollach.
His wife was an Elven lady named '''Eldalótë''' (, meaning 'Elven-flower'; ''Eðellos'' in Sindarin). His son was Orodreth, who escaped to Nargothrond when his father was slain. Angrod was thus the grandfather of Gil-galad, Orodreth's son.
His name was a Sindarized form of his Telerin Quenya name '''Angaráto''' , which means "Iron-noble". This is a reference to his hands of great strength and an early received ''epessë'' 'Angamaitë' 'iron-handed'.
In the published ''The Silmarillion'', Orodreth is given as Angrod's brother instead, following non-final versions of the story. This was an editorial decision by Christopher Tolkien which he admitted as a mistake.
