The son of Marmadoc Brandybuck, who inherited the title Master of Buckland from his father. Gorbadoc formed a link between the Brandybuck family and the Tooks when he wedded Mirabella Took, one of the daughers of the Old Took, and the couple would become ancestors of two of the members of the Company of the Ring. Through the hereditary line of the Masters of Buckland, Gorbadoc was the great-grandfather of Meriadoc Brandybuck, who would eventually inherit the title of Master himself. Gorbadoc's youngest daughter Primula married Drogo Baggins, and through her Gorbadoc was one of the grandfathers of Frodo Baggins.

We have few details of Gorbadoc's life, but early in his time as Master, the Fell Winter descended on the Shire, and White Wolves invaded the Hobbit-lands. Gorbadoc was renowned for his love of good food (hence, no doubt, his nickname 'Broadbelt'), and his generous hospitality. It was during one of his famous feasts that Frodo's parents - Gorbadoc's own daughter Primula and her husband Drogo Baggins - were lost in a boating accident.
