Oropher founded the kingdom in Mirkwood, Thrandruil became it's King after Oropher died at the Last Alliance, since Oropher and Thrandruil were both at the Last Alliance it would make sense as someone said earlier that an heir was left behind, Legolas being Thrandruils heir is highly likely. I don't see where Legolas showed and age deference to the Brethren, a deference as the sons of a mighty Elven Lord yes.
