    How many rings are referred to in the title of "The Lord of the Rings"?

    Question #54455. Asked by gmackematix.

    Kainantu

    The 20 Rings of Power are:
    9 for Mortal Men, 7 for Dwarf Lords, 3 for Elven Kings, and 1 for the Dark Lord.
    These are the Rings of Power made in the Second Age and concern the events of the Third Age.

    20.
    7 for dwarfs (all either lost to dragons or recaptured by Sauron)
    9 for men (who became the Nazgul)
    3 for elves (originally given to Galadriel, Cirdan, and Gil-galad, but possessed eventually by Galadriel, Gandalf, and Elrond)
    And of course the One Ring.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Power


    NOTE: They are first described early in The Lord of the Rings in a rhyme of lore told to Frodo Baggins by Gandalf:

    Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
    Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
    Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
    One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
    In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
    One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
    One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them,
    In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
