True, but I still feel that The lord was proably a king before taking the Ring, Sauron is title coscios enough that he wouldn't put a commoner in chrage over royalty and we KNOW Khamul was a king while alive.



But all Ringwraiths are "loyal"– in fact they are completely subject to Sauron's will. There's no "most loyal". I'd think he'd give command to whoever happened to be the best wraith for the job.
by "most loyal" I meant most loyal while they lived and had free will. But I see your point as well

Also what about Herumor and Fuinur the two addtional Numernorean who sauron gave "other powers" so that they could become kings amoung the Haradrim. It seems to me that the reason they were not given rings (after all having a Wraith kings amoung the Haradrim migh have been useful to Sauron paricularly if one ruled near Harad and one Far Harad in the same manner as Angmar.) was simply becuse Sauron had no more rings to give
