Is it possible that Finarfin did not know the true facts of the Kinslaying? It says of the battle,
Quote:
Thrice the people of Feanor were driven back, and many were slain upon either side; but the vanguard of the Noldor was succoured by Fingon, with the foremost of the host of Fingolfin, who coming up found a battle joined and their own kin falling, and rushed in before they knew rightly the cause of the quarrel; some thought indeed that the Teleri had sought to waylay the march of the Noldor and the bidding of the Valar.
