Third Age 2883
From Tolkien Gateway
Third Age 2883 (abbreviated to T.A. 2883) is the 2883rd year of the Sun of the Third Age of Middle-earth. Third Age 2883 was also known as S.R. 1283 in Shire-reckoning.
Notable events in this year include:
- Lalia Clayhanger is born.
Calculation of the Date
Fortinbras Took II married Lalia in S.R. 1314 when she was 31 years old.[1] Subtracting 31 from 1314 places Lalia's birth in 1283 by the Shire Reckoning; adding 1600 converts the year to the reckoning of the Elves and the Dúnedain.[2]
