Quarrel

The QuarrelThe History of Middle-earth, Sauron Defeated, Part One: "The End of the Third Age", II: "The Tower of Kirith Ungol" was a vague fight that was fought in the Tower of Cirith Ungol between Gorbag's company from Minas Morgul and the Uruks of Mordor led by Shagrat stationed at the tower itself, over Frodo Baggins' Mithril Coat.The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Book Six, Ch. I: "The Tower of Cirith Ungol"
==Prelude==
After Frodo had been paralyzed by Shelob on March 10, the companies of Shagrat and Gorbag found his body on March 11 or 12 and took him to the tower through the Under-way. A conflict commenced on March 14 after Shagrat and Gorbag began to quarrel over Frodo's belongings: the Mithril Coat, the Elvish cloak, and the Barrow-blade.
==Battle==
The quarrel expanded to involve every Orc in both companies. Gorbag was killed by Shagrat, but his troops shot dead Lagduf, Muzgash, and many others. After Shagrat killed Radbug, he chased Snaga, intending to kill him, but failed.
==Aftermath==
The fight allowed Samwise Gamgee to sneak into the tower to find Frodo and rescue him. Every soldier stationed at the tower was killed except Shagrat and a few other Black Uruks, who were later killed (as was Gorbag). Shagrat alone managed to get away, and made for Barad-dûr with the mithril coat.
