| | Meduseld: Articles: Are The Rohirrim Patterned On The Anglo-Saxons? |
 | | A part of the answer is that the Rohirrim are not to be equated with the Anglo-Saxons of history, but with those of poetry, or legend. | | | This makes perfect sense for it corresponds to the mode in which Tolkien created; he was not an historian, he was a philologist -- he worked not from historical works but literary ones. | | | Meaning, the Rohirrim best fit the Anglo-Saxons from their stories, legends, and poems. |

| | The Gondorian’s left hand is the perfect complement to his being a spearman as it gives the viewer a sense of fierceness in this character as he draws back his right arm and thrusts his spear. | | | Since this is a Gondorian body, I repainted it with green (as his name suggests) and washed it with brown so that it’ll not look too shiny nor brand new. | | | I used a stock Rohirrim figure and simply repainted him dark brown. |

| | Protected by Elvish cloaks, Aragorn and his companions are nearly invisible to the Rohirrim, just as Achaeans and Trojans are occasionally hidden in clouds and whisked past each other by their meddling gods. | | | It's merely a silly fiction, after all, that he was translating a lost book into modern English, and needed to represent forgotten languages with documented languages. | | | But after word arrives of the death of Theodred, the king's son, and Gandalf helps to heal Theoden of his despair, Theoden is reconciled with Eomer. |

| | How did Tolkien actually portray the Rohirrim? |
| | I do not mean to imply that the Rohirrim are a direct representation of Anglo-Saxon or Scandinavian culture, merely that visually representing Middle Earth culture in a vaguely medievalish fashion does not constitute a significant deviation from the what is represented in the trilogy. | | | Without a doubt, the peoples of Middle Earth represent a culture unto their own, and probably shouldn't be represented by any direct analog of our own historical cultures, but to create cultures which are exotic, yet familiar would best serve I think. | | | Scandanavians were recruited by the Byzantine Emperors to serve in the Varangian Guard...the Emperor's personal body guard. |

| | How did Tolkien actually portray the Rohirrim? — Merp.com Website |
| | There is nothing of this type of brutal feuding in the history of the Rohirrim, although Helm Hammerhand did take action against the arrogant Freca, whose mixed Dunlending blood made him an outsider among the Rohirrim. | | | And Tolkien cautioned his readers in Appendix F against identifying the Rohirrim with the Anglo-Saxons: "This linguistic procedure [of using Anglo-Saxon to represent the language of Rohan] does not imply that the Rohirrim closely resembled the ancient English otherwise...." | | | The details provided in THE LORD OF THE RINGS demonstrate the Northmen were unlike the Scandinavians and West Germans of medieval history, but a wealth of additional information has come to light through Christopher Tolkien's work in Unfinished Tales and The History of Middle-earth. |

| | Rohan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The basis of the rumour was that Sauron's Orcs on raids into Rohan stole their horses for use in Mordor's army, but this was outright theft that angered the Rohirrim against Sauron. | | | Many archaic Hobbit names bear similarities to Rohirric, since the ancestors of the Shire hobbits lived on the upper reaches of the Anduin, close to the ancestors of the Rohirrim, and there was apparently a good deal of linguistic cross-fertilisation. | | | The Rohirrim are famous as skilled horsemen, masters and breeders. |

| | In presenting the matter of the Red Book, as a history for people of today to read, the whole of the linguistic setting has been translated as far as possible into terms of our own times. | | | From this and context of intervening pages, it's clear that the “actual” (!) Rohirrim and other languages of Middle Earth were nothing like Old English or any other real or historic Earth language except by analogy. | | | No, the real goal, here at Impearls anyway, is to illuminate a few little known (though fascinating and significant) peoples in history through the vivid example of the Rohirrim — whom they resemble — and vice versa: to cast a light on the Rohirrim through the spectacle of real peoples in history! |
