The House of ... (PART II.b.)
Isengrim II: 2683 years after the overthrow of Sauron by Elendil and Gil-galad and the disappearance of the One Ring, Isengrim II becomes the tenth Thrain (the leader's title, like a chieftan) of the Hobbits. The same year he begins the excavation of the Great Smials.
Isumbras III: Born to Isengrim II at the age of 46. He had two recorded sons: Ferumbras and Bandobras. According to the Red Book, Bandobras Took (Bullroarer) was four foot five and able to ride a horse. Bandobras was an adventurous Hobbit and defeated an Orc-band in the Northfarthing. Not much is known about Isumbras III.
Ferumbras II: Seemed to have been overshadowed by his brother. Not much is mentioned about him, except being the oldest he became the next Thain.
Fortinbras I: Like his father, nothing is recorded about his life.
Gerontius: Later known as the Old Took. He was the second oldest Hobbit in the Shire's history. The 26th Thain of the Shire, he ruled for 72 years, and died at the age of 130. He was friends with Gandalf, and a direct ancestor—therefore, the tie—to Bilbo, Frodo, Meriadoc (Merry), and Peregrin (Pippin). He had twelve children.
Belladonna: The 'remarkable' ninth child, and eldest daughter, of the Old Took. First introduced at the beginning of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
Bilbo: Found the One Ring. Need I say any more!?
