Biography
Meriodoc, more commonly known as Merry, was a Hobbit of the Shire who was a loyal friend to Frodo throughout the Fellowship of the Ring. Merry achieved many goals throughout his quest to help save Middle-Earth from Sauron. He fought in many battles throughout the War of the Ring and killed many enemies and even assisted in defeating Sauron's deadliest servant.
Merry Brandybuck was born in 2982 of the Third Age to Saradoc Brandybuck, Master of Buckland, and his wife Esmeralda Took Brandybuck. He lived in Buckland, across the Brandywine River from the rest of the Shire.
Merry became great friends with Pippin Took, who was also his cousin. They played many games and tricks on others and were often considered uncontrollable rascals. Merry was also great friends with Frodo Baggins, who was also his cousin and the heir of Bilbo Baggins of Bag End in Hobbiton.
Bilbo was the owner of a mysterious Ring. Merry witnessed him using the Ring to escape from Otho and Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. When Bilbo put the Ring on, he became invisible. He gave the Ring to Frodo in 3001 just after his Farewell Party.
In 3018, Sam Gamgee overheard Gandalf telling Frodo that his Ring was indeed the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron and he was to bring the Ring far from the Shire. Merry was determined to accompany his great friend.
Merry returned to Buckland after hearing the news. He prepared his five ponies. He gathered food for the journey and met the three companions Frodo, Sam, and Pippin on September 25 in the village of Crickhollow.
In this village, Frodo bought a small house. He payed Fatty Bolger to make it look inhabited while he was gone. As the Hobbits bathed that night, Merry and Pippin revealed to Frodo that they wanted to come with him on the quest to bring the Ring away.
Merry and his companions left the Shire on September 26 through the gate of High Hay. They traveled through the Old Forest. At the eastern borders of the woods, the companions entered the Withywindle valley, where Merry and Pippin fell under an evil spell and dosed off. When they awoke, they were inside the trunk of the tree called Old Man Willow, who intended to eat them. Tom Bombadil, master of the woods, came to their rescue and took them to his house where they discovered he was immuned to the Ring's power. They also met his wife Goldberry. The next day, the Hobbits crossed the Barrow-downs.
On September 28, an evil Barrow-wight captured the Hobbits in a Barrow, and Tom Bombadil saved them and sent them to Bree. Before they left, they each found a mighty sword of Arnor. Merry found a sword which he called Merry's sword.
When the Hobbits reached Bree, they booked a room at the Prancing Pony on September 29. They socialized with local Breelanders until Frodo noticed Aragorn staring at them. The strange man introduced himself as Strider. He warned them of those who hunted them, the Nine Nazgul.
That night, Merry's ponies were released. Barliman Butterbur bought them a new pony named Bill in payment for their loss.
On September 30, the Hobbits departed from Bree accompanied by Aragorn. He guided the, to Weathertop, where they camped the next night.
Merry, Pippin, and Sam watched in horror as Frodo put on the Ring and was stabbed by the Witch King during the night. Aragorn used fire to frighten the Nazgul away. He then rushed to find Athelas.
Merry, Pippin, Sam, and Aragorn reached Rivendell in early October. While Frodo was being cured of his wound, Merry poured over Elven maps of Middle-Earth. He studied much about Middle-Earth's geography and location, especially if the companions would go there on the quest. On October 25, Merry and Pippin secretly attended the Council of Elrond.
Elrond thought it unwise that Merry and Pippin accompany Frodo and the Fellowship, but they were allowed to join by Gandalf. The Fellowship were nine to face the Nine Nazgul. The other members were Frodo, Aragorn, Gandalf, Sam, Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir. They set out on December 25.
On January 13 of 3019, the Fellowship reached the West Gate of Moria. After being attacked by the Watcher in the Water, the nine entered the passage under the mountain of Caradhras.
The Fellowship was attacked by goblins in the Chamber of Mazarbul. They escaped, but a Balrog followed.
At the Bridge of Khazad-Dum, Gandalf and the Balrog fell into the abyss. The eight remaining members continued on, through Lothlorien and down the Anduin River they sailed.
They reached Amon Hen on February 26. There, a skirmish occurred between the Fellowship and Saruman's Uruk-Hai. They sought the Ring. Frodo and Sam escaped to Mordor to cast it away into the fires of Mount Doom. Merry and Pippin distracted the Uruks, but were captured and held captive. Boromir was killed and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli had to hold a funeral for him.
The Uruk clan took the Hobbits across Rohan. They were heading in the direction of Isengard, where Saruman would take the Ring from them. They, of course, did not have the Ring. But as long as the Uruks thought they did, they were safe. If they knew that they did not, they would eat them.
Ugluk was the leader of the Uruk clan. He followed Saruman's strict orders that the Halflings were to be brought to him alive and unspoiled. In the trilogy film, Snaga tried to eat the Hobbits but was killed and eaten by Ugluk.
Merry was wounded on the head. Ugluk gave him some Orc medicine and sloppily bandaged up his head, but the wound remained a scar forever.
That night, a Rohirrim force attacked the camp and slew all of the Uruks but an Orc named Grishnakh. Grishnakh wanted the Ring and tried to take it from the Hobbits, who did not possess it. He was eventually killed and the Hobbits escaped into Fangorn Forest.
They climbed a tree, which turned out to be an ent named Treebeard. Treebeard thought they were Orcs and needed Gandalf the White to confirm that they were Hobbits as they claimed.
An Entmoot, or gathering of Ents, was held on February 30 and lasted until March 2. Quickbeam stayed with the Hobbits in Treebeard's Ent-house while the Entmoot lasted. They drank Ent-draught from the Entwash and eventually grew to four feet and five inches.
On March 2, the Ents decided to march to war and attack Isengard. Merry and Pippin accompanied them. Saruman and Wormtongue were shocked to find their lands had been ruined by Ents. They flooded the country and completely wiped out all of Saruman's armies. After the battle was won, Merry and Pippin found Saruman's pipe-weed.
On March 5, Gandalf arrived at Isengard with Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli. They rode with King Theoden of Rohan, to whom Merry introduced pipe-weed.
Merry and Pippin accompanied Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn, and Theoden to Edoras. At Meduseld in Edoras, Merry and Pippin performed for the local Rohirrim. Theoden became fond of Merry and asked him to become his esquire. Merry gladly put forth his sword and agreed. Theoden granted Merry with the pony Stybba.
Merry rode Stybba to Dunharrow with the Rohirrim forces. There, the Red Arrow was brought to the King, meaning Gondor called for aid. Theoden decided to muster the Rohirrim.
Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli rode to summon the Dead while Rohan's armies prepared for battle. Eowyn encouraged Merry to be brave and fight, but her brother Eomer doubted the strength of a Halfling. It was assumed that Eowyn could not go to war because she was a woman.
When Merry prepared for battle, Theoden forbid him to fight. Eowyn allowed him to ride with her, for she had dressed as a man called Dernhelm. The force rode to Minas Tirith to defend it from Mordor and its allies.
The two did not speak in fear of someone realizing their true identities. In Druadan Forest, the Rohirrim encountered a group of native Woses led by Ghan-buri-Ghan. Merry was reminded of the Pukel-men he had seen at Dunharrow. Ghan-buri-Ghan guided the Rohirrim to battle.
On March 15, the Battle of Pelennor Fields took place. The Rohirrim rode on to the grassland and were immediately surrounded by Orcs, Easterlings, Variags from Khand, and men from Harad and Far Harad. Merry and Eowyn rode across the fields with their force, slaying enemies as they went. This event became known as the Ride of the Rohirrim.
Merry's mount Windfola was probably killed by the Mumakil. Meanwhile, Theoden was confronted by the Witch-King. Eowyn rushed to aid her uncle. She chopped off his Fell Beast's head and then defeated Sauron's most valuable servant. Merry assisted Eowyn in this great achievement. He stabbed the Witch-King's leg while she stabbed the shadow that would have been his face.
Merry was knocked unconscious and was found lying on the ground by Pippin, who had been at Minas Tirith. Merry and Eowyn were brought to the Houses of Healing where they were cared for by Aragorn. They were given Athelas.
Merry was named a knight of Rohan and attended the funeral of Theoden bearing his armor.
Merry returned to the Shire on October 30 with Frodo, Sam, and Pippin. They found that it was taken by the forces of Ruffians who followed Saruman. Merry gathered his forces and the Hobbits rebelled against the invaders. On November 2, Merry sounded the Horn of the Mark, and the next day the Ruffians were defeated in the Battle of Bywater. Merry recorded a list of names of Hobbits who fought in the battle in the Roll.
Merry also published other writings, most famous of which was called Herblore of the Shire. Other of Merry's writings included Old Words and Names in the Shire and the Reckoning of Years. He also added to the Tale of Years.
Merry married Estella Bolger and the two had children including a son of an unknown name. Merry was named Master of Buckland in year 10 of the Fourth Age. Aragorn named him Counsellor of the North-Kingdom of Arnor in year 13.
Merry visited Rivendell from time to time. He visited Eowyn and Faramir in Ithilien quite often. He also visited Eomer in Rohan.
In year 63, Merry and Pippin visited Eomer and accompanied him to his death bed. They went to Minas Tirith to die there with Aragorn in year 64. Aragorn died in 120, but nevertheless he was buried next to them in the royal tombs of the city.
