Fourth Age

Fourth Age
   The centuries after the Downfall of Barad-dûr.
   The last of the four ages chronicled by Tolkien, and the one about which least is known (including its length). The Fourth Age was held to have begun with the passing of the Ring-bearers over the sea from Mithlond on 29 September III 3021, though in Gondor it was reckoned as beginning on 25 March of the same year (the second anniversary of the Downfall of Barad-dûr).
   -----
   Key Events of the Fourth Age:
   - 41: Buckland and the Westmarch are officially incorporated into the Shire.
   - 63: Death of King Éomer of Rohan; he is succeeded by his son Elfwine.
   - 120: Death of King Aragorn II Elessar of Gondor; he is succeeded by his son Eldarion.
   - 172: A copy of the Red Book of Westmarch is completed in Gondor by Findegil, the King's Writer. This is the last event chronicled by Tolkien.
