Third Age 2459
From Tolkien Gateway
Third Age 2459 (abbreviated to T.A. 2459) is the 2459th year of the Sun of the Third Age of Middle-earth. Third Age 2459 was also known as S.R. 859 in Shire-reckoning.
Notable events in this year include:
- Birth of Léod, later a Lord of the Éothéod.
Calculation of the Date[edit | edit source]
Léod was 42 years old when he died and his son Eorl was but 16.[1] Eorl was born in T.A. 2485[2] so when he was 16 it was the year 2501. Forty-two years before was 2459, the year of Léod's birth.
