After the ruin of the Dagor Bragollach, her husband and son remained in Dorthonion as hunted outlaws, but she led the women and children of her house, including Rían and Morwen, south into Brethil. Notes 1 We have no dating for Emeldir's full lifespan, but we can be sure that she survived past the year I 455, the year in which she led the women and children of Dorthonion to safety in Brethil. She would have been forty-nine years old at that time, and she evidently lived on beyond that date in Brethil, but no details of her later life are recorded. 2 Emeldir's father Beren is not to be confused with her much more famous son of the same name (who was presumably named for his grandfather). 3 According to a genealogy of the House of Bëor in volume XI of The History of Middle-earth, Emeldir's father Beren had at least three children, of whom Emeldir was the third. His other children, Emeldir's siblings, are not named, and indeed we're not even told whether they were brothers or sisters to Emeldir. See also...
