 Lands & Regions of Middle-earth
King Argeleb I of Arthedain was killed in battle, but his son Arveleg I drove back the forces of Angmar and Rhudaur to east of the Weather Hills, the Great Road, and the lower Hoarwell.
After the plague of 1636 killed most of the remaining Dunedain in Cardolan, evil spirits from Angmar and Rhudaur occupied the tombs of the Barrow-downs.
King Thranduil's butler Galion and his chief of guards drank some of this wine and fell asleep, allowing Bilbo Baggins and his companions to escape from the king's dungeon.

 NovelGuide: The Return of the King: Novel Summary: Book V Chapter 6
The Witch King of Angmar, the lord of the Ringwraiths, appears, wielding a huge black mace, “turning hope to despair, and victory to death.” The Witch King shoots Théoden’s steed, and the king falls beneath it.
The Witch King symbolizes death itself to a certain degree: readers will recall his words to Gandalf at the close of Chapter 4, as well as his words to Dernhelm here: “No living man may hinder me!” And yet this symbol of death itself dies at the hands of Éowyn and Merry.
The Witch King scoffs at Dernhelm, “No living man may hinder me.” Dernhelm laughs and reveals himself—herself—to be none other than Éowyn, “no living man” indeed.

 The Mouth of Sauron
Rather, it was envy of the immortality of the Eldar which ultimately caused the fall of Númenor, although the Dark Lord had a hand in it as well, for Sauron convinced Ar-Pharazôn, the last king of Númenor, to sail to forbidden Valinor in search of the source of eternal life [3,5].
This seems unlikely given the fact that he was clearly not a wraith at the time of his appearance in The Return of the King.
As for the King's Men, only those who were already in Middle-earth at the time of the fall of Númenor survived [3,5].

 The One Ring For Online Tolkien Fans The Lord of the Rings Source
The Chief took council with the King, and agreed to help the King ere the cold arm of Angmar receded, but would not let the King & his men stay in their main camp, partially out of fear of angering the Witch-King, and partially to appease his sons.
As the tall young guardsman gazed into the beautiful dark eyes of Sian it seemed to the King and the other Guardsmen that a cloud was lifted from him.
Soon, the King & his men were set in an encampment of their own along the shore of the Bay of Forochel, and a fire was kindled using flint they found in the old dwarf cave, and from clothing, driftwood and animal fat given to them by the Lossoth.

 The Lord of the Rings Online > Concept Art - Gorthorog
Recognizing the power of the Witch-king and of his master in Mordor, these creatures willingly joined with Angmar and Sauron.
In the early days of Angmar, the Witch-king sent forces North to "collect" the remnants of an evil race that was long believed destroyed, but which Sauron's far-seeing eye spied in the ruins of the Northern Waste.
With Angmar's forces scattered, the Gorthorogs retreated to the dark places of that fallen kingdom, which were to them much like the cracks and shadows in the North where they once dwelt.

 Rotten Tomatoes Forums - Battle of the Badasses - Season II (Round 1): The Witch King of Angmar vs. Maximus
Maximus doesn't have a chance in hell against the goddamn Witch King, even if he had all the legions of Rome at his command!
Maybe a chance in hell, once The Witch King dismounts but even then, The Witch King was in FULL metal body armor, if I am not mistaken.
I agree it will take a woman or creature to kill The Witch King as that is his only weakness.

 MERP 2300 Angmar, Land of the Witch King
The Witch King arose in Angmar during the realm of Malvegil of Arthedain, some time between T.A. Men became aware of the growing evil in the mountains, but Angmar was still preparing its power.
The men of Arnor withstood the evil power of the Witch King for six long centuries, a tribute to the strength and power of the Dunedain of the North.
This translates to about 100 hours of conversion time for Angmar.

 Nightly.Net: the king of angmar
I don't remember for sure, but I think it's the last king of Numenor, so whatever his name is, that should be it.
Valandur, the 8th High King of Arnor, and the 5th High King to rule after Valandil, was slain in the year 652 of the Third Age, according to the genealogies.
The last king of Numenor was the one who thought it would be a good idea to challenge the Valar and sail to the Undying Lands.

 NovelGuide: The Return of the King: Character Profiles
As “Dernhelm,” she rides into battle, where she fells the Witch King of Angmar, the dreaded chief of the Nazgûl.
Aragorn: The heir to the throne of Gondor and the high king of Middle-earth is presented through increasingly messianic imagery in this final third of Token’s tale.
Or again, in Book VI, Chapter 4, Frodo and Sam see Aragorn as king and “they knew him, changed as he was”—in other words, the ruler who has come is one they have already known, just as Christians anticipate Christ’s return to rule, though he has come before.

 Witch-king of Angmar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Witch-king of Angmar, aka Lord of the Nazgûl or the Black Captain, is the chief of the Ringwraiths of Middle-earth.
It is after the formation of Angmar and several conflicts with the Dúnedain of the North that the Lord of the Nazgûl received the title of Witch-king, Lord of Angmar, for which he was the best known since this was his first great act independent of Sauron.
It was at Minas Morgul that the Witch-king made his stronghold, giving him the title of Lord of Morgul.

 GW Online : The Lord of The Rings : Heralds of Darkness : Vassals of The Witch-king
The only allegiance they know is to the Witch-king of Angmar, at whose command they once preyed upon the northern kingdoms of the Dunédain, bringing dismay and terror to the world of Men, and speeding the fall of Arnor.
As an unliving creature himself, the Witch-king surrounded himself with many lesser wraiths, able to bend them to his will by his very nature.
In the years of Angmar's dominance, and through the centuries since, tales have been told across Eriador of spectral Wargs, who strike without sound and leave neither blood nor flesh as trace of their passage.

King Araval won a war with Angmar in 1851 and he attempted to recolonize Cardolan, but evil wights had been sent by the Witch-king of Angmar to inhabit northwestern Cardolan's hills (called Tyrn Gorthad, later the Barrow Downs) and the colonization failed.
The Dunedain of Rhudaur were thrown out of power when the line of their kings failed, and under the rule of a hill lord Rhudaur allied itself with Angmar.
Now the tide began to turn against the Dunedain and by 1940 Araphant and his counterpart in Gondor, King Ondoher, realized that some evil power had been steadily working toward the decline and eventual destruction of their kingdoms.

I suppose that the Witch-king, once of proud Numenorean ancestry, felt trapped by the guise of evil which Sauron had tricked him into, and in the fullness of time forged this alternate identity for himself so that he could occasionally feel happy, helpful, noble, and more at one with himself and his lineage.

Once a great king of old, the Witch-king, like all the Nazgúl, was enslaved to the will of Sauron by his magical Ring of Power.
In the physical realm the Witch-king was little more than a spirit wrapped in black cloth, a fearful presence, but when seen by Frodo in the spirit world, the specter's true guise was revealed, a twisted and malicious fiend, still bearing the tall crown of his office.
