Isengrim Took II was the twenty-second Thain of the Shire.

History

Isengrim II excavated the Great Smials in Green Hill Country, and it would be the Thain's seat for generations to come.[1] Thainship passed on to his son, Isumbras III.[2]

Etymology

"Isengrim" is of Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from isen meaning "iron" and grim meaning "fierce".

It is likely Isengrim is named after an earlier Isengrim, but it is notable that "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]
