Bucca of the Marish was the first Thain of the Hobbits in Eriador.
History[edit | edit source]
Around S.R. 379, some four years after the fall of the North-kingdom, the Hobbits of the Shire elected from their midst one Bucca of the Marish as the first Thain. He was to rule the land in the King's stead. Little else is known about him, other than that he brought peace and prosperity to the Hobbits.[1]
His family became the Oldbucks and eventually the Brandybucks.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The word Bucca is Old English for "buck", "male deer" or "he-goat" which is a translation of the original Westron name Gamba.[2]
