Findegil was the King's Writer of Gondor in the Fourth Age.

Findegil presumably served under the Kingship of Eldarion^[1] in the Fourth Age.

In Fo.A. 172, Findegil wrote a copy of the Thain's Book for the Thain of the Shire, probably at the request of Peregrin Took's great-grandson. This copy was the only one to include Bilbo's complete Translations from the Elvish, which Bilbo had composed while at Rivendell during his 'retirement' there. ^[2]

↑ The year of Eldarion's death is not recorded, but he would have been at most 171 years old and reigned 52 years when Findegil appears in the records.
↑ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, "Prologue", "Note on the Shire Records"
