Argeleb II is best known as the King who granted the Shire to the Hobbits when many of them migrated west from Bree-land. He let them settle the land as they pleased in exchange for fealty to him, and a promise to keep all the bridges and roads tended and guarded, and to speed the royal messengers through their lands.
