'''Rudigar Bolger''' was a member of the [[Bolger family]], who married [[Belba Baggins]]. Belba was the younger sister of [[Bilbo Baggins]]' father [[Bungo Baggins|Bungo]], and so through his wedding, Rudigar became one of the Bilbo's uncles. In [[The Lord of the Rings]], there is no hint of Rudigar's relations to the other Bolgers, but genealogies within [[The History of Middle-earth]] suggest that he was the great-grandfather of [[Fredegar Bolger|Fredegar ('Fatty') Bolger]].
