'''Isengrim Took III''' was the eldest of the twelve children of [[Gerontius]], the [[Old Took]]. Because of his father's famous longevity, Isengrim was already an old hobbit himself when he inherited the title of [[Thain]], being no less than eighty-eight years old. He did not survive long in his new office, and died just ten years after his father. He was succeeded by his younger brother, who became [[Thain]] [[Isumbras Took IV]].

Isengrim Took III was the twenty-seventh Thain of the Shire.

History

The eldest son of the Old Took, Isengrim's rule was noticeably short. He was already near his nineties when he became Thain, and died ten years later. As he had no children of his own, his brother Isumbras became the new Thain.[1]

Etymology

"Isengrim" is of Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from isen meaning "iron" and grim meaning "fierce".
