Lord of Beleriand was a title self-proclaimed by Elu Thingol, the King of Doriath.
It was first proclaimed by him to the emissaries of the Ñoldor when they returned to Middle-earth and began spreading throughout the northern lands, and lastly to the Dwarves in the deep-smithies of Menegroth just before they slew him.[1]
