Indexes: About this entry:
|
The second child, and eldest son, of Fosco Baggins and Ruby Bolger, Drogo was said to be a decent and respectable Hobbit, though he was rumoured to be a little overweight. He married Primula Brandybuck of Buckland, and they had one son, the famous Frodo Baggins the Ring-bearer. Drogo often stayed with his wife's family in Brandy Hall, enjoying the fine food served by his father-in-law Master Gorbadoc. On one of those visits, when young Frodo was just twelve years old, Drogo and Primula went boating on the River Brandywine, and both were drowned in an accident. The details are mysterious: some said that Drogo was merely too heavy for the boat, others - less plausibly - that Primula had actually pushed Drogo into the river, and then been pulled in herself. However Drogo and Primula were lost, they left Frodo to be raised at Brandy Hall. There Frodo lived for nine years until he was adopted by his father's distant cousin, Bilbo Baggins of Hobbiton. Thus it was that Drogo's son eventually became heir to the Ring, and set out on the long journey to Mount Doom. Notes
