King of the EldarA ruler of the High Elves
Genealogical tree showing the descent of the High Kings of the Noldor, most powerful of the Kings of the Eldar in Middle-earth. Those who held the office of High King are shown in bold text. This tree follows the convention in the The Silmarillion that Gil-galad was the son of Fingon: this is contentious, and other possible lines of descent exist (for more on this topic, see note 1 to the entry for Ereinion Gil-galad).

A title granted to any of the rulers of the Eldar, but most especially to those in Middle-earth. There were several independent Kings of the Eldar in Beleriand during the later First Age, such as King Finrod of Nargothrond, or King Turgon of Gondolin. Set over all of these was a High King, a title granted to Fingolfin after Fëanor's death, and held by him until the Ruin of Beleriand. During the Second Age, the High King was Fingolfin's grandson Gil-galad, who ruled the remaining Elf-lands from Lindon, and was also accounted 'King of the Eldar'. Notes
