![]() ![]() When the dust settles, Frodo finds himself in possession of a supercharged ring and the unexpected new owner of Bag End, where he continues to live his carefree life for the next 17 years. Next, he leaves the powerful piece of jewelry to his heir - along with everything else he owns - and heads off into the blue in search of new adventures. He starts by trashing his already shaky reputation amongst his Hobbit neighbors by using the One Ring to vanish before the flabbergasted eyes of his guests. The event turns into an even bigger deal when Bilbo chooses this point in time to finally abandon his quiet life once again. See, 111 years is an unusually ripe, respectable old age for a Hobbit to reach, and 33 is the point that Hobbits consider their young ones to have "come of age" - consider it equivalent to the modern 16th birthday party. However, when Bilbo's 111th birthday and Frodo's 33rd birthday happen to fall on the same year, an extra special occasion is planned. Naturally, then, the bachelors have quite the annual to do as they go about hosting perennial joint birthday parties. Whatever the specifics, the event leaves the doubtless traumatized Frodo orphaned at a very young age. It isn't long before multiple versions of the story begin to circulate, with some saying that Drogo's enormous weight sunk the boat, while more sinister rumors claim that Primula actually pushed her husband in and he pulled her in along with him. While they're on their romantic excursion, they tip out of the boat and both drown - again, most Hobbits are infamously bad with all things having to do with water. ![]() One evening, probably after a pleasant dinner, Frodo's parents decide to go out boating in the moonlight. Unfortunately, this proclivity for delicious food sets the family up for an untimely tragedy. Otho was eventually married to Lobelia Bracegirdle. They were founded on Longo Baggins and Camelia Sackville (who was the heiress of the family) and their son, Otho, adopted a double name. This is largely due to the fact that Frodo's father is a great patron of good food, and the Master of Buckland is famous for his well-stocked dinner table. The Sackville-Bagginses, or the Sackville-Baggins Family, consisted of Lotho, Lobelia, and Otho (in the series). In The Fellowship of the Ring Sam Gamgee's father, the Gaffer, explains that the little family spends a good deal of their time in Buckland. ![]()
