Fëanor and his Sons had sworn an oath to acquire the Silmarils at any cost after they were stolen by Morgoth who fled to Middle-earth. One of the jewels was stolen from Morgoth by Beren and Lúthien where it would later be set upon the Nauglamir. Later it came to the possession of Dior, son of Beren, and he restored the kingdom of Doriath after it was sacked by the Dwarves of Nogrod. However the sons of Fëanor attacked Doriath hoping to gain the Silmaril, but it escaped their grasp when Elwing, daughter of Dior, fled with it along with the survivors of Doriath to the Mouths of Sirion.
When Maedhros learned that Elwing survived the destruction of Doriath and dwelt in the Havens with the Silmaril, he withheld his hand but soon the oath compelled him to act and sent word to the Havens demanding the jewel. The peoples of the Havens as well as Elwing refused.
As a final resort, the Sons of Fëanor sacked the Havens in what was considered to be the 'cruellest of the slayings of Elf by Elf'. Some of the Fëanorians did not take part in the slaughter and rebelled against their lords aiding Elwing and in turn they were slain. Maedhros and Maglor emerged victorious at the end but they did not gain the Silmaril for Elwing had cast herself into the sea with it. Amrod and Amras were slain in the battle leaving only Maedhros and Maglor as the remaining sons of Fëanor.
