Bungo Baggins (T.A. 2846 - 2926, died aged 80) was the eldest child of Mungo Baggins and Laura Grubb.

[edit] History

Bungo, a well-to-do Hobbit, married into the Took clan when he wed Belladonna Took, daughter of the Old Took, in 1280 by Shire Reckoning. Bungo and Belladonna had only one child together, the infamous Bilbo Baggins.

Apart from fathering Bilbo, Bungo's other achievement is that he built and excavated the rather luxurious Bag End in the Hill in Hobbiton.
