the hierarchy definite works in Middle-earth, because if a King died, he would probably stay in Valinor once he was recreated. By the way, why didn't Idrilbecome High Queen at the death of Turgon? After all, elves wouldn't be so biased as to not consider daughters eligible to rule. Also, in one place, Idril was clearly called Turgon's heir.
