Bregor (F.A. 359 - 448) was the second Lord of Ladros.
History
Born into the House of Bëor, Bregor was the eldest child and first son of Boromir. He had two younger siblings, Andreth his only sister and Beril his younger brother.
In total, Bregor fathered five children: Bregil his eldest child and first daughter, Hirwen his second child and second daughter, Bregolas his third child and elder son, Gilwen his fourth child and third daughter (last daughter), and Barahir his last child (fifth child) and younger son.
When Bregor was 51 years old, the region of Ladros in Dorthonion was given to his House, and his father Boromir became its first Lord.[1] Bregor became the fifth head (chieftain) of the House of Bëor and the second Lord of Ladros after the passing of his father in 432. He ruled his people peacefully for sixteen years until his death, and Bregor was succeeded by his elder 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 a heirloom of the House of Bëor.[3]
Genealogy
Other Versions of the Legendarium
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]
