Prisca was the second child and daughter of Polo Baggins.[1] She married Wilibald Bolger, and had three children: Wilimar, Heribald and Nora. Her husband passed away before S.R. 1401, but she attended Bilbo's Farewell Party with her children.[2][note 1]

Etymology

Prisca is a Latin/Italian word meaning "former, old" from which derives the name Priscilla.[3]
