I should have said 3 are known, Imrazor and Mithrellas is only a legend of men and not actual fact as recorded by the elves. Noone actually knew if this was true, Legolas was merely stating that what he has heard in legends. However, I tend to believe the legends of men that appear in the books. If they weren't at least in part true why would Tolkien write about them?
