History
Adelard was the son of Flambard Took, and had five children; three daughters and two sons. His sons were Reginard and Everard. They were all present at Bilbo's Farewell Party in S.R. 1401.[1] The next morning, he joined a crowd who went to Bag End to ask Frodo Baggins about Bilbo's disapparance. Bilbo had left for him an umbrella as a parting gift, although Adelard left taking some others.[2]
Etymology
Adelard (lit. noble-hard) comes from a Teutonic word meaning "resolute" or "courageous".
