To Liviaine about Thranduil
By the way Liviaine, Thranduil is the elf-king in the hobbit in which he dosn't exactly exemplify the best of elven traits but then I can see how the spiders, orcs and even dwarves would get on his nerves.

My favourite Elven King is Thranduil.

As my favourite elven ruler, I would have to choose the first son of the first prince of the Ñoldor. Maedhros.

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |

A tie between Fingolfin and Fëanor.
Then Turgon, Finrod and Maedhros (although he never was a king)...

Fingolfin. The duel with Melkor is one of my favorite passages from the Sil. And you have to admire his calmness when Feanor confronted him.

It's funny because I would wager that the "Kingdom" of Maedhros in Beleriand was more powerful than that of say Thranduil in Mirkwood. How do you define a king then?

Unfortunately for Fëanor, he never became a High King of the Ñoldor. It was in Hithlum when Maedhros waived his right for the Kingship that Fingolfin became the High King. Fëanor never actually became the High King of the Ñoldor. Finwë, held the title of Ñoldoran, King of the Ñoldor.

I am saying that because Maedhros turned the High Kingship over to Fingolfin, then he was exempt. Once the line of Fingolfin was over, the High Kingship went to the house of Finarfin. Had Finrod out lived Turgon, the High Kingship would have come to him. It was only the order of events that prevented it.

And even if Fëanor's son gave away the Kingship, Fëanor had it when he was alive. (I have little knowledge on how a monarchy works, it may very well prove that I'm wrong)

Fingolfin is my favourite of the elf kings. One of the best parts in the Silmarillion was when Fingolfin challenged Morgoth in single combat.
