The Roll was a list of names created by Hobbits following the Battle of Bywater. The Roll contains all those hobbits who fought in the Battle of Bywater, with Captains Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took appearing at the top of the list. In latter years the Roll was learned by heart by Shire-historians, and the rise of fame and fortune of the Cottons dates from this time.
