Wouldn’t there have technically been 9 Ring bearers? If you’re going to count Daegle who had it for such a short time, you would also have to count Sam too.
Sauron – 1
Isuldur – 2
Daegle – 3
Smaegle – 4
Bilbo – 5
Frodo – 6
Sam – 7
Frodo – 8
Smaegle – 9
there are 7 on your list if doubles are not counted.
