    A problem with this scenario for me is that in the books, the hobbits far outnumber the men, even though the men are mostly better armed and trained fighters as well as being bigger and stronger. Perhaps a second hobbit army would have been in order?

    Fun fact. The ruffians Saruman led referred to him as 'Sharkey', because the orcs he once led referred to him as 'sharku', which means 'old man' in orcish.

      actually sharku was the warg Rider who sent Aragorn off the cliff in The Two Towers

    • @atreides213
      @atreides213 8 лет назад +4

      That might have been his name in the movie, but in the books sharku is orcish for old man. The addition of that name was probably just an Easter egg for hardcore Tolkein fans.

    • @Tripserpentine
      @Tripserpentine 8 лет назад +2

      But that is not actual lore XD
      After the wars the Hobbits find the shire occupied and they have to fight to free the shire, (without Gandalf, Aragorn or the elfs and dwarfs).
      Don't recall that being in the movies :P

      Mainly for revenge though. He specifically says when confronted by Frodo that he wants to die in the Shire so the land will forever be tainted, and he considers it a defeat when Frodo refuses to kill him.

    Gríma kills Saruman. Frodo spare Sarumans life and demands that he leave shire. when they left shire Saruman accused Gríma of murdering a man. Gríma was furious at this a drew hes knife, and sliced Sarumans throat. Saruman probably made this accusation out of pure despair since he hade no where to go after the fall of isengard.

    • @thegreenmanky6935

  • @weretomtheexplosivegamer8296

    In the books the hobbits just appear on either side of the road and kill them all with slings and bows. Not holding off the forces of Isengard in a straight fight.

  • @mathy1799
    @mathy1799 8 лет назад +1

    Saruman started a long time before the war of the ring with infiltrating the Shire. Likely he just saw it as a way to gain more power, pipeweed and to have an extra card against Gandalf (who loves the shire). Slowly he gained more control over the Shire. Mainly by using stupid/kinda evil hobbits. When Isengard was destroyed and he succeeded to escape he made for the Shire where his men had took total control. He began to totally destroy it as his revenge on Gandalf, Frodo, Aragorn and basically everyone else. (this wasnt his first plan but only from after his defeat). Until Frodo and co. returned and started the Scouring of the Shire.

    Saruman, the master of mindgames, killed "president" of Shire, but hobbits didnt know it, so he ruled Shire, but than our four heroes arrived, gathered all hobbits and beated some saruman's bandits and cutthroats. When they surrended they let Saruman escape with Wormtongue, but Saruman was very cruel to Wormtongue so he killed him and somw hobbit archers killed Wormtongue.

    small tactical positioning blunder at the bridge. You should have had the archers up next to the bridge so they could more easily fire across the flank of the enemy rather than taking all the friendly fire by shooting over their heads. Regardless, really cool battle. I love these historical battles.

    Lore so saids that Saruman disguised himself as a old crone named Sharku and with a army of bandits took the Shire ... (many months before the Hobbits returned) it took a full rebellion of Hobbits with aid of the Tooks, Illiyan and Illidan, illthiyen rangers and the heroes to drive Sharku out in the process Wormtongue killed Saruman and the Shire was saved...

    Actually they come back to a subjucated shire where sauroman and his orcs and few uruks, have dominated the landscape, and have forced the hobbits to work, and build up his industry again, and it's in the middle of all that Pippin, Merry, Sam and Frodo comes back. And then leads them in a rebellion against Sharky/Sauroman :)

    Please do another one. Saruman should've died only a couple minutes after he entered combat.

    youd think it would be simpler for archers to fire over the heads of hobbits rather than getting friendly fire

    Were there any other forces at the Battle of Bywater? or was it only the Hobbits defending?

    • @Adam-ni6ne

      Just Hobbits. And honestly, a Battle of Bywater scenario would sort of be the other way around, with Hobbits attacking.
      Basically, Saruman escaped Isengard some time between the Battle of Pelennor Fields and when the Hobbits with Gandalf and the rest of the White Council visited Isengard on their way home. He goes strait away to the Shire, and begins to fortify it (using Lotho Sackville-Baggins as his puppet leader at the beginning. That's why they find some of Lotho's pipeweed in Isengard).
      When the Hobbits are through Bree, it's just them and Gandalf left. Gandalf leaves to go discuss things with Tom Bombadil (a character too confusing to bring up here) and it's just the Hobbits left. When they reach the edge of the Shire, they find a wall defended by a few Hobbit shirriffs. Merry and Pippin climb the fence and scare off the defenders, and after that they gain entrance to the Shire for the others. On the way they meet another band of shirriffs, who explain the situation and "arrest" them. They don't really arrest them though, they more just kind of follow them around and are eventually left behind. Eventually they make contact with some local Hobbits, who help prepare an ambush on some of "Sharky's" (Saruman) men, not Hobbits. After a successful attack, Pippin leaves to Tookland to rally a force there, because Tookland is relatively independent to begin with and the evil men haven't been allowed in there.
      The movie doesn't make it clear, but Merry and Pippin are the closest thing to Hobbit royalty there is, with Merry being the heir to Buckland and Pippin being heir to Thainship of the Shire (de facto leader of the whole Shire, but in reality has no power up until this point outside of Tookland).
      Anyway, to sum this up because it's getting long, a larger ruffian force of men and some hobbits attacks the main rebel camp, Frodo tells everyone to avoid killing people, the ruffian force is defeated and the rebels march on Hobbiton and Bag End, the headquarters where Lotho is supposed to be. They find it empty, but Saruman steps in from behind them and starts taunting them, about how if anyone kills him the ground will forever be tainted. He tries to get them to kill him, but Frodo refuses. As Saruman admits defeat, he begins to leave. Frodo offers to Wormtongue that he can stay, because he can see Wormtongue is a slave at this point. Saruman taunts Wormtongue and tells everyone how he (probably) ate Lotho Sackville-Baggins. In a rage, Wormtongue stabs Saruman from behind, killing him. Saruman's soul leaves his body, briefly looks west towards Valinor, and a gust of wind from the west blows it away. Wormtongue is killed by hobbit bowmen because he's armed and trying to run away. The ground Saruman died on is repaired by planting the seed given to Sam in Lothlorien by Galadriel.
      TL:DR: There were only Hobbits attacking Saruman's ruffians and Hobbit shirriffs in the Shire.

      Only Hobbits, but Sam, Merry, Pippin, and Frodo in the story all had armor and weapons from the elves and men when they came home

    I thought this battle sounded familiar-I had just read about it in a LoTR wiki a few days ago, what a coincidence! Yeah, it was pretty much a down-on-his-luck Saruman who just kinda...tried to take some easy hobbit land pickins. How the mighty have fallen! Not an important battle in the grand scheme of things, and I think there were only a couple hundred fighters too.
