Meriodoc Brandybuck, better known as Merry, was
surpassingly
one of the most remarkable Hobbits in all of Middle-earth. He was
always
thinking and planning things, and remarkably intelligent. It was he who
was the first to find the mysterious ways of Bilbo Baggins and his
magic
ring, and organized their escape from the Shire and Buckland to Bree.
Merry
is most known for befriending King Théoden of Rohan, and aiding
Éowyn
in slaying the King of the Nazgûl, which actually saved her from
ruin.
He also led the Shire to a clear victory from their overtakers. Then,
when
the evil was forfeit, he wedded Estella Bolger (sister of his good
friend
Fatty Bolger, who also aided them from escaping Buckland safely) and
became
Master of Buckland. In his old age, he took the last adventure of his
life;
visiting his dear friend Éomer in Rohan with his close cousin
Pippin
Took, and after accompanied him on his journey to Gondor, where they
died
in peace and splendour.
