 | - The Master of Esgaroth was probably elected by the merchants of Lake-town/Esgaroth.
- After the death of Smaug, the Master ran away with the money given to him by Bard to rebuild Esgaroth, but he later died in the deserted, hostile Waste.
- Esgaroth became rich again after it was rebuilt, trading with the wood-elves, the dwarves who moved in to Erebor (the Lonely Mountain) and the newly restored town of Dale, which was ruled by Bard.
