Droit du Seigneur
by destinedatoms
There's truth to the bawdy wives' adage that men swear fealty by bending their knees and women by opening their legs. 5 times in the First Age a bride of one of the lords of the Edain was ceremonially bedded by her new Elven liege lord, and one time it happened in the Third Age instead.

thanks for the summons @emyn-arnens that Frodo snippet has me in a clutch. Here's a little something of House Hador
“Oh, my Galdor, my cherished firstborn, trouble he was from the moment his feet learned how to walk,” says Gildis, whose wit seems undaunted by her losses and her seven decades of life. “The Allfather must have stayed my hand that day when Galdor urged Gundor to sneak my yarn out of the house and trade it for a flute Annael had carved. Half a winter I wasted my back at the wheel, and for what? So my son drives me mad with that wretched flute, but I was too embarrassed to return Annael’s handiwork to him.” Huor interrupts his grandmother’s story, chuckling as he speaks. “Baba, your memory plays tricks on you again. That was not father and uncle, but Húrin and I. Trust me when I say, I much rather would have taken the stick than the piles of laundry you made us scrub after.” Gildis spits back without hesitation, though a playful smile stretches the wrinkles about her lips: “You would do well not to remind me, you little raccoon, lest you wish for that stick still.”

The ladies of Dor-lómin, 1/4
Gildis, the first Lady of Dor-lómin, wife of Hador and mother of Galdor, Gunthor and Glóredhel
quite an obscure figure, she literally only appears once in a genealogy in The War of the Jewels
I associate her with yellow and orange flowers and with hedgehogs :) I’ll make an accompanying headcanon post with more thoughts!

three houses of the edain ❂ house of hador ❂ headcanon disclaimer
Hador was the son of Hathol, and became the first Lord of Dor-lómin. Unlike his father and grandfather, Hador loved the elves and entered into the service of High King Fingolfin of the Noldor, swiftly becoming beloved of the king as had his ancestor Malach Aradan before him. Such was Hador’s devotion to his liege that Fingolfin gave him both the name Lórindol for his golden hair and a fiefdom in Dor-lómin, where his eldest son Fingon dwelt also. In honor of his ennoblement, Fingon gifted Hador with a mighty helm crafted by the dwarves, bearing a design of Glaurung the Golden and enchanted to protect its wearer and strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. Its strength and heaviness was such that few could wear it, but Hador was a powerful man who could bear its weight, and in his honor the helm was called the Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin and the Helm of Hador, becoming an heirloom that only the mightiest of his line could wear. Hador was so great a warrior and so impressive a leader that his people were glad to follow him to their new land. His wife, Gildis, was a linguist eager to study the tongues of the elves, and was the first to propose that the House of Marach be renamed the House of Hador for her husband’s bravery and charismatic leadership. Gildis bore Hador three children: a daughter, Glóredhel, and two sons, Galdor and Gundor. Hador encouraged his children to foster friendships with the Haladin of Brethil, eventually leading to a great feast celebrating the union of the two Houses when Galdor and Glóredhel each wed children of the Chieftain of the House of Haleth. Gundor married a woman of his own House, and was still young when he and his father both perished in the Dagor Bragollach, defending Eithel Sirion alongside Fingolfin their king.

The Wedding of Hador & Gildis
I don’t usually do much with pastels, but I went to an art workshop thing with a brilliant pastel artist Rebecca de Mendonca, and came away feeling all inspired so I decided to use my new Learnings and draw this scene, because I love Hithlum Before It All Goes Wrong as a setting. I was quite pleased how it came out
I thought for a while that nobody else loved Hador, but the noble @hennethgalad picked this up as a second writing pick, and basically went up in an astonishing giant fire of creativity. There are now TEN more Hador stories on Ao3 than there were, and the epic tale of how Hador had a passionate romance with Fingolfin and then chose to marry Gildis is told in the Hador Lórindol series, and culminates in three chapters from three viewpoints, with some really lovely descriptive writing in The Wedding of Hador & Gildis.
Hador and Gildis, his future wife. Spring in Dor-Lomin.
Women of the House of Hador
The people of Hador, being hardy to endure cold and long wandering, feared not at times to go far into the north and there keep watch upon the movements of the Enemy...His people were of great strength and stature, ready in mind, bold and steadfast, quick to anger and to laughter, mighty among the Children of Ilúvatar in the youth of Mankind. Yellow-haired they were for the most part, and blue-eyed…
- The Silmarillion
The Folk of Hador were ever the greatest in numbers of the Atani, and in renown (save only Beren son of Barahir descendant of Bëor). For the most part they were tall people, with flaxen or golden hair and blue grey-eyes, but there were not a few among them that had dark hair, though all were fair-skinned.
