Hugo Bracegirdle

Revision as of 12:24, 3 July 2010 by KingAragorn Bot (talk | contribs) (changing link to Bilbo's Farewell Party)

Hugo Bracegirdle, an acquaintance of Bilbo Baggins, was among the recipients of special gifts after Bilbo's Farewell Party. He was noted for borrowing books, but not for returning them, and Bilbo Baggins recognised this in his choice of gift: an empty bookcase. It seems clear that Hugo was related to Lobelia Sackville-Baggins in some way (Lobelia's maiden name had been Bracegirdle) but the details of this relationship are nowhere recorded.
