Ferumbras Took I was a Hobbit of the Shire.
History
Ferumbras presumably lived in the first millennium of the Shire-Reckoning during which he became Thain, sometime after Isumbras I.
No record of his name exists, but Ferumbras II, the twelfth Thain, was named after him.[1]
Etymology
Ferumbras is a name from the legends of Roland, a corruption of Frankish fier à bras, "brave arm".
