Blanco

Blanco was a Fallohide Hobbit living in Bree-land in the middle of the Third Age. He was the brother of Marcho.

He and his brother are famous for gaining permission by King Argeleb II of Arthedain to cross the Brandywine and there establish a new realm which would pay homage to Arthedain and tend to their roads, borders and bridges and speed royal messengers along, and otherwise be allowed to live in peace from the politics of Arthedain. And thus, in 1601, the Shire was established.
