Hierachy of the Elvenkings

[Inderjit Sanghera]

There were no 'High Queens' for the Noldor. The passage about Idril being Tugon's heir aries, at once point Aredhel tells Maeglin that Turgon had no heir. If there were Noldorin high-queens then Idril and or Galadriel would have a better claim to the throne then Gil-Gaalad son of Orordreth, who was son of Aegnor, Galadriel's older brother, but it seems with Turgon's passing the kingship passed from the line of Fingoflin to Finarfin. One also wonders about any male descendants of Finwe's eldest child, Findis, though because of her closer association with the Vanyar maybe they didn't interact much with their Noldorin kinsmen.
