Just removed an item from the associations list, because as stands it's pure speculation. If there's documentation anywhere that Tolkein was intentionally referencing King Gorboduc "in coining the name "Gorbadoc" for Frodo Baggins' Brandybuck grandfather" then I'd be happy to add that back to the list.

Because this point was challenged, I will leave the response here, and someone else can rewrite or restore the point that was made in the associations list. In the 6th volume of Christopher Tolkien's History of Middle-earth -- The Return of the Shadow -- he discusses his father's phases of composition. There he includes several uses of the spelling Gorboduc, including the character Gorboduc Brandybuck, in a genealogy and parts of the story. From this information, and knowing that Tolkien was wont to use Welsh names for certain families of hobbits, I believe we can confidently make the association that was originally posted on this page.
