The Encyclopedia of Arda - Brandy Hall (original) (raw)

The seat of the Brandybuck family The ancestral home of the Brandybuck family, a deeply-delved smial in Buck Hill, in the central regions of Buckland on the banks of the River Brandywine. Notes 1 Therefore 'Brandy Hall' would be the 'hall on, or across, the border' (of the Shire, that is). There's room for doubt here, because the element 'Brandy-', as a connection between the names 'Brandywine' and 'Brandybuck', only really exists in Tolkien's anglicised versions. In principle the Hall might have been named after the river - Bralda-hîm to the Hobbits - making it something close to 'Ale Hall', but this seems rather less likely. See also...
