Fourth Age 17 (abbreviated to Fo.A. 17 or F.O.) is the 17th year of the Sun of the Fourth Age of Middle-earth. Unless otherwise stated, Tolkien Gateway follows Shire usage in Appendix B for reckoning Fourth Age years: Fourth Age 17 was also known as S.R. 1438 in Shire-reckoning.
Notable events in this year include:
- Birth of Ruby Gardner, eleventh child and sixth daughter of Samwise Gamgee and Rose Cotton.[1]
