Doug, Littlemanpoet, and the others- you have enlightened me more than I have been enlightened since... well since I argued over the color of Thranduil's socks with my sister (never did reach an agreement on that one).
Anyway, I am at the understanding now that "prince" does not necessarily mean the son of king. But that's not answering my question! What was my question again? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] So, have we decided or have we not decided why Legolas was never referred to as a "prince." We have ideas presented (some even in rhyming form) that I agree with, but I am going for the idea that Tolkien didn't care. Unless someone is willing to contradict me on this...
