The '''Ringwraiths''', (or '''Black Riders''') of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' were ghostly spectres sent by [[Sauron]] to recover the Ring from [[Baggins]] of [[the Shire]]. The greatest weapon of these horsemen was not swords but sorcery and fear.
The '''Ringwraiths''', (or '''Black Riders''', or '''Nazgul''') of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' were ghostly spectres sent by [[Sauron]] to recover the Ring from [[Baggins]] of [[the Shire]]. The greatest weapon of these horsemen was not swords but sorcery and fear.
After annoying [[Farmer Maggot]], terrifying [[Sam]]'s father, and nearly killing [[Fatty Bolger]], some of them pursued [[Frodo]] and his three [[hobbit]] friends to the [[Brandywine]], where they barely escaped by ferry. Several attacked [[Strider]] and the four hobbits in Bree and at [[Weathertop]]. In a dramatic confrontation at the ford of [[Rivendell]], they were unseated and apparently drowned by [[Gandalf]]. However, only their horses drowned, and Sauron gave them new steeds, flying monsters with great leathery wings.

The Nazgul were originally nine kings of men who were corrupted by rings of power.
