How Did Isildur Lose the Ring?

The battle to possess the One Ring has been a crucial and contentious issue in the struggle against Sauron throughout J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Key events in the Third Age have been shaped by Isildur, a Vala and the son of Elendil, but what led to his undoing and the ultimate possession of the Ring by subsequent Dark Lords? For answers, we shall look at the chronology and actions of Isildur that led to the destruction of his hold on the Ring and the beginning of Middle-earth’s darkness.

Isildur and the Battle of the Morannon

From 3320 Second Age to 3346, Isildur along with his brother, Eldacar, defeated several enemies and gained prominence amidst the Free Peoples of Men and the Elves. When Bor and the remnants of Andros fled from Morgulduin, Isildur arrived to claim his grandfather’s lands, effectively banishing Bor. During and following the war against Celebrimbor and his enemies, Isildur formed his own alliance. Overseeing the rekindlement of the Dale’s capital as one, Isildur received Sauron’s army while Elendil sought protection with Gil-galad.
