Where do Hobbits come from and How did they find the Shire? | Lord of the Rings Lore | Middle-Earth

There was once a time when the Hobbits lived in distant lands far from the comfort and peace of the Shire. A time when they were forced to overcome conflict and danger as evil beings encroached upon their lands. These evils which included Sauron, the Easterlings and the Witch-King of Angmar would drive them from their lands and they would have to seek refuge elsewhere in Middle-Earth. In today's episode we'll be exploring the entire history of the Hobbits, from their time in the Wilderlands to the establishment of the Shire.

================================================

In this series, we explore the history of places in Middle-Earth, Characters or events that took place.
The information is presented in an orderly easy to understand way so that it is friendly to people that are new to the Lord of the Rings Lore and Mythos.

"Improvise, adapt, overcome" - an old Hobbit proverb.

[stephensmith]

In a recent Time Special Edition - The Lord of the Rings there is an article titled "In His Words". Professor Tolkien is quoted by Guardian journalist John Ezard (1966): "The hobbits are just what I should like to have been but never was - an entirely unmilitary people who always came up to scratch in a clinch."

[TsukabuNosoratori]

Sauron just can’t let anyone have anything good.

[LamanKnight]

When I first heard that Ents were unfamiliar with hobbits, I figured that hobbits must have always kept to themselves throughout history, and most of the world was completely unaware of their existence. But it turns out, hobbits have been around for a very long time, and they had dealings with a lot of the groups and races of Middle Earth. It's really fascinating to hear about it.

[lowlandnobleman]

Wow. Caught this one early. Always love hearing more about the halflings.

[whooll]

Excellent video. The hobbit history is much more interesting and uniquely more satisfying to learn about than I had expected.

[GeekZoneMT]

Which Hobbit clan is your favorite? And what do you think about the Hobbit Origins and the great journeys that they had to undertake? As always subtitles are available and feedback is welcome!

[stumpe]

"Sauron this, Arnor that, im just trying to grill" - some hobbit probably

[gavhenrad]

Fantastic video. So well read and informative. Their tough origins show how they were able to endure so much throughout their missions and adventures.

[grimreaper]

What a wonderful job you did in showing hobbit history and the founding of the shire awesome job =)

[Jaasau]

Awesome video. You can learn all that there is to know about the Hobbit’s ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you.

[davis.fourohfour]

I'll hold to my internal canon that the Hobbits are humans crossed with dwarves, and a touch of elves. Fallohides more of the elves, Stoors and Fallohides far more of Dwarves.
The East is a wild place.

I discovered this channel a week ago and I watched every single video (almost) because of this wonderful narration, the strong research work and beautiful pictures. It feels like a warm tale near a crackling fire

[aja]

I didnt know snufkins and the moomin house was in middle earth too lol. The Green pointy hatted character with backpack with the blue house in back ground is from moomin series seen at 11:03

[matthewronsson]

Always in depth and thoughtful consideration of the source material.

[Enerdhil]

I like Farmer Maggot. He is my kind of hobbit.

[nanoglitch]

Feels like the hobbit clans were loosely inspired by England, Ireland and Scotland.

[allies]

Well done! Great Music, strong voice, beautiful pictures, good evidence; what more can I say?

[ironblue]

Well it is time to watch this video a second time, really enjoyed the topic of the video

[marckrieger]

Love the rich history in tollkiens world like theoden remembers legends about halflings and remarking how similar their languages were.
