The Battle of Greenfields was a battle that took place in the Northfarthing of the Shire in the latter half of the Third Age, and was the only time the Shire was ever attacked by the Goblins of Mount Gram.
History
In TA 2747, a band of Goblins from Mount Gram led by their King Golfimbul invaded the Shire. The hobbits were prepared and met them with a force led by Bandobras Took in the Northfarthing. According to the traditional story, Bullroarer charged the ranks of the Goblin army on horseback and with a wooden club knocked Golfimbul's head clean off, sending it sailing a hundred yards through the air and down a rabbit-hole, thus winning the battle and simultaneously inventing the game of golf.[1]
No other battle occurred within the borders of the Shire until the Battle of Bywater[2][3] on November 1, 3019, over two-hundred years later.[4]
