Faramir Took I was the thirty-third Thain of the Shire, the twentieth of the Took line.

History[edit | edit source]

Faramir was the son of Thain Peregrin Took I and Diamond of Long Cleeve.[1] He was named after Faramir, the Prince of Ithilien in Gondor far South, a good friend of his father. In S.R. 1463 he married Goldilocks Gardner, the third daughter of Samwise Gamgee. He succeeded his father when Peregrin relocated to Gondor in S.R. 1484.[2]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Faramir I was named after Faramir, who Pippin Took, Faramir I's father, saved from being burnt to death alongside his despairing father, Denethor, during the Siege of Gondor.
