Kings

I agree that maedhros would not have been King of all the Noldor prior to the arrival of Fingolfin and co. , as Finarfin was king of the Noldor in Valinor.

I can not but see that Maedhros would have been, if only for a brief time King of the Noldor of Beleriand.
There was no contest of this until the remaining Noldor arrived.

The term High-King of the Noldor would not belong to him as there had been no setting up of seperate kingdoms as in the time of the seige
