Andreth of Ladros

Published:
1.9K Views

Description

Andreth of Ladros, daughter of Boromir*, sister of Bregor and Beril, a mortal woman who was loved by Aegnor, son of Finarfin. They never married as Elven marriages were forbidden in times of war, and Aegnor could sense his impending death. it is thought that she died during the Dagor Bragollach, however an important conversation between Andreth and Aegnor's brother, Finrod, entitled: Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth, was thought to be partially due to Aegnor's death, and he was killed in the Dagor Bragollach, therefore it is more likely that she died late in the Battle or later on, either during another battle or of her own mortality

*Boromir of the House of Beor during the FA, not Boromir of Gondor

Nice pic!

Either way, Andreth probably wouldn't have survived the battle long, as she was well into her nineties. I admit, I do like that she stayed single instead of choosing to marry a mortal because it showed that she really loved Aegnor. And at least she had her nephews, nieces, grandnephews, and grandnieces from her brother Bregor (and possibly from her sister Beril too - there isn't much info on Beril, but I figured she probably would have lived a more conventional life for a Beorian woman than Andreth did).
