He married [[Adamanta Chubb]], who gave birth to twelve children: [[Isengrim Took III|Isengrim III]], [[Hildigard Took|Hildigard]], [[Isumbras Took IV|Isumbras IV]], [[Hildigrim Took|Hildigrim]], [[Isembold Took|Isembold]], [[Hildifons Took|Hildifons]], [[Isembard Took|Isembard]], [[Hildibrand Took|Hildibrand]], [[Belladonna Took|Belladonna]], [[Donnamira Took|Donnamira]], [[Mirabella Took|Mirabella]] and [[Isengar Took|Isengar]].<br /> <br /> After the death of his father in {{SR|1248|n}}, Gerontius became the twenty-sixth [[Thain]] of [[the Shire]].&lt;ref&gt;{{App|Took}}&lt;/ref&gt; He was a friend of [[Gandalf]], who gave him a pair of magic diamond studs.&lt;ref&gt;{{H|Party}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Gerontius Took reached the impressive age of 130, which made him the oldest [[Hobbits|Hobbit]] until his grandson [[Bilbo Baggins]] celebrated his 131st Birthday.&lt;ref&gt;{{RK|Havens}}&lt;/ref&gt; He also held the record of most offspring, until [[Samwise Gamgee]] bested him with [[Tolman Gardner|Tom]]'s birth in {{SR|1442}}.&lt;ref&gt;{{App|Gamgee}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> He was called ''The Old Took'' not because of his age, but because of his numerous younger relatives.&lt;ref name=&quot;RC&quot;&gt;{{HM|RC}}, page 54&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The word element ''geron'' is Greek for ''old''. [[Wikipedia:Gerontius|Gerontius]] was also a Latin name of the Late Roman Empire, and is one of the very few Greco-Latin names appearing in Hobbit lore.<br /> <br /> Gerontius is rendered as ''[[Wikipedia:Geraint|Geraint]]'' in [[Welsh]], found as a royal name in ''The [[Wikipedia:Mabinogion|Mabinogion]]'' and in Tennyson's ''[[Wikipedia:Geraint_and_Enid#Geraint_and_Enid|Geraint and Enid]]''.&lt;ref&gt;[[Mark T. Hooker]], [[Tolkien and Welsh]], p. 133&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Inspiration==<br /> In a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Kloos, Tolkien wrote that when he wrote ''The Hobbit'', he had imagined Bilbo's grandfather to be old, because both of his grandparents were around a hundred years old when they died.&lt;ref name=&quot;RC&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> {{references}}<br /> {{Sequence<br /> |prev=[[Fortinbras Took I]]<br /> |next=[[Isengrim Took III]]<br /> |list=26th [[Thain]] of [[The Shire]]&lt;br&gt;{{SR|1248}} - {{SR|1320|n}}<br /> |}}<br /> [[Category:Characters in The Hobbit]]<br /> [[Category:Hobbits]]<br /> [[Category:Thains]]<br /> [[Category:Took]]<br /> [[Category:Greco-Roman names]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Alter Tuk]]<br /> [[fi:Gerontius Tuk]]<br /> [[fr:encyclo/personnages/hobbits/touque/gerontius_touque]]</div>
