High Kings of the Noldor
I really like the Sil, and was just thinking the other day when I came across the phrase "High King of the Noldor" - which of Finwe's sons and grandsons and great-grandsons were actually High King? This is what I came up with - anyone who knows better, please correct me! Thanks!
Finwë, then (moving to next generation) Fingolfin, then Fingon, then Turgon, then (moving to Finarfin's line, and down 2 generations) Gil-Galad. (I think Fëanor was never High King). (note - I'm working with the Gil-Galad, son of Orodreth, son of Angrod, son of Finarfin theory, the latest-known Tolkien geneology, which is not quite what Christopher has in the Sil, but which he later said was correct, if I remember correctly.)
