Isengrim Took I was a Hobbit of the Shire who held the position of Thain some time between S.R. 740 and S.R. 1083.
History
There are no direct records of Isengrim I but he was evidently the namesake of Isengrim II.[1] Isengrim I's reign as Thain came between the beginning of the Took line of Thains in S.R. 740 and the reign of Isengrim II, which began in S.R. 1083, after which there were no gaps in the Took's genealogy.[2]
Etymology
Isengrim is of Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from isen meaning "iron" and grim meaning "fierce".
Isengrim is the name of a wolf who appears in many medieval epics, including the story of Reynard the Fox which originated in French folklore.[3]
