First Age 402
From Tolkien Gateway
First Age 402 (abbreviated to F.A. 402) is the 402nd year of the Sun of the First Age of Middle-earth.
Notable events in this year include:
- Orcs attempt to pierce the Pass of Aglon, but they are defeated by Maedhros and Maglor, who are aided by the sons of Finarfin[note 1] and the Edain led by Bëor.[1][note 2]
Notes
- ↑ Originally called Finrod in the text, the character was later renamed Finarfin.
- ↑ Considering the genealogical changes made by J.R.R. Tolkien, Bëor died in F.A. 355 at the age of 93, so it would be obviously impossible he took part in that battle. It could be actually Bregor, since Barahir was mentioned as the son of Bëor in the same annal.
