The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!

In LotR, Gandalf says:


Quote:
Nine he gave to mortal Men, proud and great, and so ensnared them.
In the Silmarillion, it is said:


Quote:
Men proved easier to ensnare. Those who used the Nine Rings became mighty in their day, kings, sorcerors, and warriors of old.
Neither quote precludes one or more of the original holders of the Nine being women. The capitalised 'Men' could denote either sex, while the warriors or sorcerors referenced in the second quote could have been female.
