The son of [[Marmadoc Brandybuck]], who inherited the title [[Master of Buckland]] from his father. He was renowned for his love of good food (hence, no doubt, his nickname '[[Broadbelt]]'), and his generous hospitality. It was during one of his famous feasts that [[Frodo]]'s parents [[Drogo]] and [[Primula]] were lost in a boating accident.
