Masterful

A title given to Marmadoc Brandybuck, who was Master of Buckland more than a hundred years before the War of the Ring. We know little of Marmadoc's history, but his title 'Masterful' shows that he must have been a powerful and respected Master of the Hall. He married Adaldrida Bolger and had many descendants, including Meriadoc of the Company of the Ring, who was the great-great-grandson of Marmadoc the Masterful.
