Battle Of BywaterThe Battle Of Bywater was a fictional battle in The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. The Battle of Bywater was a battle between the Hobbits of The Shire and a band of Ruffians who followed "Sharkey" (Saruman). Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry) himself slew the leader, a squint-eyed orcish-looking brute. Peregrin Took (Pippin) also took part in this battle. The courage and skill they had discovered during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields had made them confident in their abilities, and this enabled them to rally the Shire-folk against the invaders. The Battle of Bywater occurred on November 3, 1419 by Shire-reckoning in the Shire Calendar and was the last military engagement of the War of the Ring. The next day, Frodo, and his three companions, leading the Hobbits of the Shire, marched to Hobbiton. There Frodo confronted Saruman and exiled him from the Shire. Then Wormtongue killed Saruman by slitting his throat, on the very doorstep of Bag End. Before Frodo could react the Hobbits of the Shire shot Wormtongue dead with three arrows. Thus, the last stroke of the War of the Ring fell at the very door that Frodo had first set out from. Bywater
