By various accounts, Amroth was the Silvan king of Lorien or the son of Galadriel and Celeborn. Either way, he was an elf-lord who lived in Lorien.
He loved this girl named Nimrodel, but when the Balrog started making trouble a bunch of the elves fled south. Nimrodel fleeing south but was lost in the mountains of Gondor.
Amroth made it south and was waiting for her, but a storm drove the ship out of harbor. He tried to swim back to land and Nimrodel, but drowned. Dol Amroth bears his name.
One of Nimrodel's handmaids did make it south and married a Numenoren, thus starting the line of the princes of Dol Amroth.
