Timeline Event

Frodo, now orphaned, raised in Brandy Hall

Event Type: General

Age: 3rd Age - The Stewards

Years: 2980 ~ 2989

Description:

[Said] the Gaffer.... 'A decent respectable hobbit was Mr. Drogo Baggins; there was never much to tell of him, till... he and his wife were drownded, and poor Mr. Frodo only a child and all.'....

'Anyway: there was this Mr. Frodo left an orphan and stranded, as you might say, among those queer Bucklanders, being brought up anyhow in Brandy Hall. A regular warren, by all accounts. Old Master Gorbadoc never had fewer than a couple of hundred relations in the place. Mr. Bilbo never did a kinder deed than when he brought the lad back to live among decent folk.'

Lobelia's face looked as if she was in the throes of thinking out a really crushing parting remark...:

'... You don't belong here; you're no Baggins — you — you're a Brandybuck!'

'Did you hear that, Merry? That was an insult, if you like,' said Frodo as he shut the door on her.

'It was a compliment,' said Merry Brandybuck, 'and so, of course, not true.'

Notes
The date of this event is set to lie between the events Drogo and Primula Baggins die boating on the Brandywine and Bilbo adopts Frodo as his heir.
