In briefanswer capsule

Aredhel, called Ar-Feiniel or "the White Lady," was a Noldorin princess of the royal house of Fingolfin, sister to Fingon and Turgon. She lived for a time in the hidden city of Gondolin but grew restless within its guarded walls and rode out into the wilderness of Beleriand. Wandering into the forest of Nan Elmoth, she was found by the Dark Elf Eöl, whom she wed, becoming the mother of Maeglin. She later returned with her son to Gondolin, where she met her death, struck by a blade Eöl had meant for Maeglin.
