Master of Buckland
Master of Buckland was a hereditary title among the Bucklander Hobbits. As the head of the Brandybuck Family, he was also known as the Master of the Hall. Like the Thain and Warden of Westmarch, the Master had only nominal authority.
It was traditional for each of the Masters to have an epithet attached to their names, such as Gorbadoc Brandybuck "Broadbelt", Saradoc Brandybuck "Scattergold", and the most famous, Meriadoc the Magnificent.
History
The first Master was Thain Gorhendad Oldbuck, after he left the Shire and moved to Buckland in . The holder of the title was accepted as the leader of Buckland, and several farms in the Marish as well. After the War of the Ring (Fourth Age 13), King Elessar made the Master of Buckland one of the Mayor Counsellors of the North-Kingdom.
