'''Hildigard Took''' was a [[Hobbits|Hobbit]] of [[the Shire]].
__NOTOC__
==History==
Hildigard was a daughter [[Gerontius Took|the Old Took]] and [[Adamanta Chubb]]. She died at a young age.<ref>{{App|Took}}</ref>


'''Hildigard Took''' was the first daughter, and second child, of [[Thain]] [[Gerontius Took|Gerontius]], the Old Took and [[Adamanta Chubb]]. We know very little about her life, and [[Appendix C]] merely states she "died young".
==Etymology==
"Hildigard" come from the Germanic roots ''hild'' meaning "battle" and ''gard'' meaning "protection".<ref>{{HM|IE}}, "Giving of Names"</ref>


We know from the birth of her siblings [[Isengrim Took III|Isengrim]] and [[Isumbras Took IV|Isumbras]] that she must've been born between [[Third Age 2832|S.R. 1232]] and [[Third Age 2838|1238]], and more specifically around 1235 based on the average age gap between he 11 other siblings.
The hobbit's gender is not mentioned ({{HM|Guide}} for example treats Hildigard as a male hobbit), however [[Wikipedia:Hildegard|Hildegard]] is a Germanic female name.


In ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]'' volume 12, ''[[The Peoples of Middle-earth]]'', an earlier version of the [[Took]] family tree gives Hildigard's birth and death dates as 1235 and 1255 respectively, but this may no longer be accurate.
