Isumbras Took III was the twenty-third Thain of the Shire, the eleventh of the Took Family.

History

Isumbras was the son of Thain Isengrim II, and inherited the title at his father's death in S.R. 1122. He had two sons, Ferumbras II and Bandobras, who moved North to Long Cleeve.[1]

Etymology

"Isumbras" is of French and Anglo-Saxon origin and means "iron-arm". It comes from the French bras meaning "arm", and the Anglo-Saxon and Middle High German word isen which means "iron".[2]

Tolkien likely[source?] got the name from Sir Isumbras, an English medieval romance about a man who suffers a lifetime of hardship but who finds happiness in his latter years.
