Bungo Baggins? Bilbo wasn't part of the Fellowship... who was he related to?

Good point.

Could it be that they are all related to people in the fellowship?

Nope, neither of the answers presented here is correct (as for them being short, they were, but then, there were many others who were. All Dwarves and Hobbits, in particular).

Seems it's working this far

If you choose to, I may give you a minor hint to point you in a certain direction.

All of them had at least one child and I non of them died in battle. . .

really I have no idea, maybe you should give that hint

In some way, you are aiming the right direction, Rune. Anyway, I will tell you that it's a thing which is specific only for them, but not of all the people, beings, whatever in M-E, but from Dwarves and Hobbits. So, that is the beginning of the answer. What do these have in common: "Of all the Dwarves and Hobbits..." There's an important hint in this fact, if you think of it.

Well, of all the Dwarves and Hobbits, those five are the only (known) ones who had a son who went to sea.

Good, good! That was exactly it. Okay, your thread now

Well done!
