Fingolfin | Hero of the First Age

The first video on Heroes of the First Age in Tolkien's Legendarium is focused on Fingolfin. I discuss his duel with Morgoth in one of the most famous of confrontations in all of Tolkien's works. I talk about why I think the High King of the Noldor showed bravery and courage despite falling to grief and despair. ► Chapters: 0:00 - Intro / New Series 2:12 - Fingolfin: Name, Family, and Titles 5:06 - Duel with Morgoth at Angband - Narrated 7:06 - The Doom of the Noldor 9:27 - Was this heroic? 11:43 - My thoughts 13:16 - Outro / Questions ► Support the Channel: Support the channel through Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/TheRedBook Support the channel through YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPOz2P0OxWp0ij0K4BsLsRw/join View Members-only Videos - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UUMOPOz2P0OxWp0ij0K4BsLsRw ► Supporters: Patricia, Dovid Nachson Albright, Moses Gunn, ncv1993, Oliver Falangan, Seraphim38, Victus Schmmidtt, Douglas Harley, Ian Haydel, Joe Raffurty, Master of Dungeons, TB, Adam Dallas29, Carden, Carson Miller, Catherine G White, Connor Mulders, David Lafferty, Ess Jay Dubs, Jim Loughlin, Molly Barger, Nima, Ryan H, Sko, VoxPhantom, InconceivableDreamer234, boi sophies ► On-Screen Notes: Not included ► Artwork: All artists, images, and links to sources are found by following the link below.
