The Third Age: The Lord of the Rings [Merry]

Born in 2982 of the Third Age, Meriadoc Bradybuck (Merry) was son of Saradoc Brandybuck, Master of Buckland. In 3018, Merry became one of four Hobbit members of the Fellowship of the Ring. Merry survived many adventures untill the breaking of the Fellowship, when both he and Pippen (Peregrin Took) were captured by Orcs of Isengard.

When the Orcs attacked by the Rohirrim, the Hobbits escaped into the Fangorn Forest and helped convince the Ents to attack Isengard. Merry later became the square of King Theoden of Rohan. He became an heroic figure when, with the shield-maiden Éowyn, he slew the Witch-king of Morgul at the Battle of Bywater. He fought valiantly in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, and aided in the avenging of Theoden’s death. Merry was nearly killed by the black breath, but was healed by Aragorn. Marry and Pippen were the tallest Hobbits in history, measuring a towering four and one-falf feet. In the yer 64 of the Fourth Age, Marry and Pippin left the Shire to spend their last few years in Rohan and Gondor, where they were buried with high honour in the House of Kings.
