Ereinion Gil-galad was a
fictional character in
J. R. R. Tolkien's
Middle-earth. The son of
Fingon, Gil-galad was named High King of the
Noldor in
Beleriand after the fall of
Gondolin and the death of his uncle
Turgon. During the
Second Age, Gil-galad's realm was in
Lindon, and he enjoyed the friendship of
Númenor while it was still faithful, and was an ally of the Númenórean kingdoms in exile (
Gondor and
Arnor). He formed the
Last Alliance against
Sauron with his friend
Elendil, High King of the
Dúnedain in exile; he was slain, along with Elendil, in battle with Sauron at the end of the Second Age.
His spear was named Aiglos[?].
