Fastred of Greenholm married Elanor the Fair in 1451 on the Far Downs. In 1455, when Master Samwise took the mayoralty for the fifth time, the Thain at Samwise’s request named Fastred Warden of Westmarch. He and Elanor settled at Undertowers on the Tower Hills. From them sprang the Fairbairns of the Towers, who remained there through many generations.
Where the sources disagree
In which year the Thain made Fastred Warden of Westmarch.
- In 1455, the year Samwise became Mayor for the fifth time. Appendix B, The Tale of Years
- In 1462, the year Samwise became Mayor for the sixth time — so the German translation by Margaret Carroux, which lists 1455 only as his fifth term. Appendix B, The Tale of Years
This site follows the English text, which Krege's translation also has (1455). The Carroux reading stands here so that German readers who find 1462 in their copy see where the other year comes from.
