Fingon | Hero of the First Age

The Heroes of the First Age series continues with a look at Fingon the Valiant. I discuss his history and why he came to Middle-earth before I focus on his heroic rescue of Maedhros from Thangorodrim. What made this rescue special and why did Fingon risk his own life for another? From there, I discuss his fall and why he more than earned his title of "Valiant".
