Scarcely Heard of the King in these parts

In the Hobbit one of the dwarves says they have scarcely heard of the King in these parts. Strictly speaking, the Kingdom of Arnor collapsed two thousand years earlier and so there was no legitimate king, but was there a king of some sort? If so, who would it have been? What happened to Angmar? Why did the Witch King abandon it instead of ransacking the shire and all of Eriador? On that note, would the "king" have been A deposed descendant of the last king in hidding, or a Troll left over from the realm of Angmar which won the war against Arnor?
