Re: Kings

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> Fingolfin had most of the Noldor with him and accepting his rule. Maedhros would just have been in charge of the Feanorian Noldor. He did not rule nor was he acknoweldged as the lord of majority of the Noldor. JRRT wrote that after Feanor's death the ovelordship of the Noldor passed to Fingolfin (see above posts for cite).<hr></blockquote>

The divisions of the Noldor at this point were not clearly stipulated. Feanor had stranded Fingolfin with all the Noldor whom he felt he could not trust. In fact, since Fingon had rushed to Feanor's aid at Alqualonde, it is apparent that Feanor was stilled acknowledged as king by all the Noldor (on the march).

That some of the Noldor of Tirion didn't want Feanor as their king doesn't mean they renounced him.
