Gorbadoc "Broadbelt" Brandybuck was a Hobbit of the Shire.
History
Gorbadoc was the son of Marmadoc Brandybuck and after his father's death in S.R. 1310, he became Master of Buckland.
He married Mirabella Took, and had in all seven children: Rorimac, Amaranth, Saradas, Dodinas, Asphodel, Dinodas and Primula.[1]
According to Hamfast Gamgee, Gorbadoc was generous and his son-in-law Drogo Baggins enjoyed visiting Brandy Hall for his rich table,[2] at least until Gorbadoc's death in S.R. 1363.[1] But according to Hamfast it was during one of his visits to him when he and his wife Primula were drowned in S.R. 1380.[2] In reality Gorbadoc had been dead by then.
Etymology
Jim Allan suggested that the Celtic-sounding name Gorbadoc is "a slight alteration of Gorboduc or Gorbodugu", a fictional pre-Roman king of the Britons.[3] In 1988, the publication of The Return of the Shadow confirmed that Tolkien had indeed used the name Gorboduc in four extant manuscript versions.[4][5]
His name 'Broadbelt' derives from his generous table and waistline.[6]
