Vzv, Elu, my granddad Finarfin did not use the title 'High King of the Noldor.' Though I wonder why . . .

I thought Tolkien (in very few places though) said off-handedly that Finarfin, since he went back, was 'recognized' as the High King, (whether he used the title or no is odd indeed)

Also, in many places, (is the Fall of Gil-Galad one?) it said Gil-Galad was the 'Last High King of the Noldor in Middle-Earth.' implying that Finarfin was the one in Aman, i assumed.

Feanor, definently. The rest of the kings' lackluster stories of typical kingly and heroic deeds pale in comparison to Feanor's madness-driven tragedy. Sure, he may have been a little . . . crazy, but that's what makes him cool.

I second Kuru! If Finrod can't be voted, I won't vote. And Maedhros too. But could he be called a king? Wouldn't he rather actually be a lord?
