# Talk:Thranduil

Where is any proof that the unnamed Elvenking in The Hobbit is the same as Thranduil? JSoos (talk) 14:56, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Unfinished Tales, "The History of Galadriel and Celeborn", where Tolkien says "ruled by princes of Sindarin descent (as was the realm of Thranduil in the northern parts of Mirkwood;...", and the same chapter's "Appendix B: The Sindarin Princes of the Silvan Elves", where it says "when a thousand years of the Third Age had passed and the Shadow fell upon Greenwood the Great [aka Mirkwood], the Silvan Elves ruled by Thranduil 'retreated before it as it spread ever northward, until at last Thranduil established his realm in the north-east of the forest and delved there a fortress and great halls underground'".
