In the chapter "Of Turin Turambar" of The Silmarillion it is said of the fact that Queen Melian gives lembas bread to Beleg Strongbow: "In nothing did Melian show greater favour to Túrin than in this gift; for the Eldar had never before allowed Men to use this waybread, and seldom did so again".
However, the article on this site states that Beleg is a Sindarin Elf.
Is he a Man or an Elf?
- He is an elf. The "man" refers to Túrin Turambar. --Narfil Palùrfalas 21:36, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
