Who is king Fingolfin in The Hobbit?
Fingolfin was the second High King of the Ñoldor in Beleriand; the Ñoldor being one of the three branches of Elves.

He founded the House of Fingolfin, which ruled the Ñoldor in Middle-earth.

What happened to Fingolfin’s father after the Battle of Gondolin?
Morgoth’s wounds never healed after that battle, and he limped everafter. Thorondor, the King of Eagles, rescued Fingolfin’s body and broght it to a mountaintop overlooking Gondolin, and Turgon built a cairn over the remains of his father. Fingon became High King of the Noldor after his death.
What happened to Fingolfin’s son Maedhros?
Shortly after Fëanor’s death, his oldest son Maedhros was captured by Morgoth. Learning this, Fingolfin’s oldest son Fingon rescued Maedhros, with whom he was a good friend. Maedhros consequently waived his claim to kingship at the council of the Noldor in Mithrim.
