1. How long was it from the end of the hobbit to the beginning of LOTR?

2. How old was Beorn at the time of the Hobbit. Just approximately.

3. Is Grimbeorn the Old an ironic name, like he's actually just really young but they call him 'Old' for a good laugh?

4. How long is a Beorning's life span, like direct descendants of Beorn. I know they had a longer than average life span but could you narrow that down for me?

Sorry if you can't answer these. I thought no one really could, but if anyone could it would be Ithilion. 1. 70-odd Years

2. We don't know. Probably 40-ish.

3. No, where'd you get that idea? I'd imagine he was born a few years after The Hobbit, and so would be ~70 at the Council of Elrond and ~50 in the mod. .

4. Not told.
