'''Hildigard Took''' was the daughter of [[Gerontius Took|Gerontius]], the [[Old Took]]. Hildigard was the second child and first daughter of Gerontius and [[Adamanta Chubb]]. Her older brother was [[Isengrim Took III|Isengrim III]]. She had ten younger siblings: [[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]]. Hildigard was born sometime between 2832 and 2838; possibly in 2835. She died young, though her date of death is not known. According to one source ([[The History of Middle-earth|HoME]] [[The Peoples of Middle-earth|XII]], p. 107), she died in 2855, but this may not be accurate.

Hildigard Took was the first daughter, and second child, of Thain Gerontius, the Old Took and Adamanta Chubb. We know very little about her life, and Appendix C merely states she "died young".

We know from the birth of her siblings Isengrim and Isumbras that she must've been born between S.R. 1232 and 1238, and more specifically around 1235 based on the average age gap between he 11 other siblings.

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.
