I mean, it's a pretty famous one. I would call him superlative, except that both Sam and Bilbo beat him.

Gerontius and Adamanta, choo-choo.

Okay, so the three most virile couples are

1. Sam and Rosie
2. Gerontius and Adamanta
3. Feanor and Nerdanel

That is, unless you can find someone else who is more virile than Feanor/Nerdanel and less virile than Gerontius/Adamanta?

So am I correct?

Yep, that's the ones.

Oh, now you've got me hunting... it looks like Gorbadoc Brandybuck had seven kids with Mirabella Took (daughter of Gerontius), matching Feanor. There's at least one Hobbit family with six, but after that you're down to endless sets of five kids.

Who is Istarnie's grandson?

Okay, that's a female name derived from 'wisdom' (I think that's what Istar comes from). I'm gonna guess... Nerdanel, which would make her grandson Celebrimbor.

Okay, it's 'knowledge', not 'wisdom', but my answer still stands.
