In ]'s ]al universe of ], the '''Thain''' was the traditional military leader of the ]s of ] (compare ]). The Hobbits first chose a Thain to "hold the authority of the king" when ], last King of ], was lost and the kingship in the North discontinued. The Thainship was originally held by the ] Clan. In 740 ], it passed to the ], and has remained a hereditary position in their clan ever since. Though a viceregal position, the Thain never wielded significant political authority, as the Shire remained a very loosely organized society and rarely faced military threats from outside. |
