The eleventh [[Thain]] of the Took line, and twenty-third overall, Isumbras succeeded his father [[Isengrim II]]. He had two sons, of whom the younger, [[Bandobras]], became famous as the 'Bullroarer'. Isumbras' years as Thain were a time of hardship and privation - his son Bandobras beat back a raiding Orc-band at the [[Battle of Greenfields]], while the end of his Thainship saw the [[Long Winter]] fall on the [[Shire]]. He was succeeded by his elder son, who became Thain [[Ferumbras II]].
