First off, I assume that Gildor, though not direct kin to Finrod Felagund, is of a noble lineage within the House of Finarfin, and of such age that he likely fought beside Túrin Turambar.

Why exactly do you assume that?

Let's not forget that Gildor Inglorien was one of the strongest in the house of Elrond, after all he had seen the light of Valinor and he glowed in the darkness of the night.

Maybe Keeper of Dol Goldur [sic] could provide us with the unpublished Tolkien material from which he gleaned so much heretofore unknown information about Gildor. It would certainly be valuable in the current discussion. Did Tolkien mail this bit of information to you personally, Keeper?
