The son of [[Olo Proudfoot]], and grandson of [[Odo Proudfoot|Odo]], Sancho was distantly related to [[Bilbo Baggins]]: his great-grandmother [[Linda Baggins|Linda]] was one of Bilbo's aunts. At the time of Bilbo's [[Farewell Party]], Sancho was just eleven years old. He was one of the many [[Hobbits]] that arrived at [[Bag End]] on the day after the Party, where he went searching for Bilbo's fabled gold. In one of Bag End's pantries, he found what he thought was an echo in one of the walls, and had actually started to excavate when [[Frodo]] discovered him and put a stop to his treasure-hunt.

Sancho Proudfoot (b. T.A. 2990[1]) was a Hobbit of the Shire.

History

The son of Olo Proudfoot, at the age of eleven, Sancho was present at the Farewell Party of his uncle Bilbo, along with his father and grandfather Odo.[1]

The day after, on 23 September, T.A. 3001, he went to Bag End to seek for a treasure he heard rumours about. Frodo could just stop him, but not after Sancho had already started excavating the pantry, where he thought he heard an echo.[2]

Etymology

Jim Allan recognizes the name as one of the short meaningless Hobbitish names[3] in which case it probably represents genuine Hobbitish Sancha.[4]

Sancho is a real Spanish name which derives from Latin sanctius "holy". This makes Sancho one of the very few Spanish names appearing in the legendarium.

Portrayal in adaptations

2002: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game):

A young Hobbit named Sancho Proudfoot - or, the "dread highwayman Sancho Proudfoot ", as he prefers to call himself - causes quite some mischief in Hobbiton and Bywater. Several of the early missions the player - as Frodo - has to do involve solving problems caused by Sancho, such as retrieving a metal pin of the Hobbiton Mill and Old Noakes' medicinal herbs.[5]
