So Frodo and Bilbo haven't seen each other in sixteen years.Īll timeline information can be found in The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B: "The Tale of Years (Chronology of the Westlands)". The hobbits escape across the Ford of Bruinen, into Rivendell on October 20th that same year, but Frodo doesn't wake up until October 24th. Bilbo is 128 by then, and Frodo 50 (about the same age when Bilbo started his journey). This is mentioned in the first chapter as well:īilbo was going to be eleventy-one, 111, a rather curious number, and a very respectable age for a hobbit (the Old Took himself had only reached 130) and Frodo was going to be thirty-three, 33, an important number: the date of his ‘coming of age’.īilbo settles in Rivendell the next year (3002) he is 111/112 years old and Frodo is 33/34.įrodo leaves Bag End on Septem(by 3018, the appendix starts to list days, since the events happen in rapid succession). He returns next year (2942), on June the 22nd (in the middle of an auction selling his property) and is 51 years old.īilbo's farewell feast is on his/their birthday in 3001 he is 111 years old, and Frodo 33. The start of Bilbo's journey is in 2941, according to 'The Hobbit' just before May he is 50 years old. The appendix lists Bilbo's birth year as 2890, and 2968 as Frodo's, but no birth date for both – from the first chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring we know it's September 22nd:īilbo and Frodo happened to have the same birthday, September 22nd. The following years are 'Third Age', at the end of which the events in The Lord of the Rings takes place. The Lord of the Rings contains several appendices at the end of The Return of the King, and Appendix B, called The Tale of Years (Chronology of the Westlands), contains a timeline of events. I'd much appreciate to get the ages of both hobbits for these moments, or alternatively the time that has passed between each point. ![]() (To me, it seemed like at most a couple of years, or even months.) Frodo arrives at Rivendell and meets Bilbo, apparently after not seeing him for a long time.Frodo leaves with his friends and the ponies, first to his fake "new home" and soon after on the great adventure.(This confused me as well, even though he no longer had the Ring.) Bilbo arrives at Rivendell, apparently from just walking around randomly and openly in spite of the dangers.(Not described in detail in the trilogy.) Bilbo comes back from his original journey.Bilbo leaves for his original journey.I'm trying to create a simple "timeline" which states, not using years but rather the ages of Bilbo/Frodo, or the relative time when: I did read it carefully, and I know everything that happened, but I have a bad concept of when it happened, in relation to each other. In spite of having the story in "fresh memory", I still can't remember the details, or didn't understand them to begin with. I'm over halfway through The Fellowship of the Ring now. I recently begun re-reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy. ![]()
