How many people touched the One Ring ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Let's see:
1. Sauron
2. Isildur
3. Deagol
4. Smeagol
5. Bilbo
6. Frodo
7. Gandalf
8. Samwise
9. Tom Bombadil

Possibly a tenth, in Rivendell. While Frodo was unconscious, someone placed the ring on a chain. If that someone was Gandalf, then the number is still nine. If it was Elrond, or someone else from his house, then the number is ten.

But I haven't read all the way through in a while, so I may be missing someone.
