Eowyn little red wagon here -
When Merry challenges the Nazgūl , the Nazgūl replies:
Quote:

Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!

Now if I'm not mistaken - isn't Merry a man? Not a Man, per se, but of the male persuasion?
So, though he could strike the Nazgūl and cause some significant damage, it was Eowyn who struck the fatal/mortal blow that sent the Nazgūl soul off from ME.
