@Schmidtah Tolkien (catholic) spoke polish language and was fascinated with the polish military history. Rohan means land of horses-Poland was called that way too.Winged hussars not alway used wings, and for example king's armor is very similar to polish armor.Mix of winged hussars and polish armored cavalry. The best and coolest cavalrymen ever. Google: battle of Klushino 1610. Rohan vs. Mordor. Mordor dark land = Russia. Look at them, the same mentality and way of life, the faces.

Riders of Rohan are bravest guys in LOTR.In whole history there were no braver than Poles. We always fought against massive armies of dark evil from east Mogols-Russian and Turks.We always were outnumbered even 12 times and almost always won! (battle of Klushino 1610) Alexander the Great won being 5 times outnumbered only. Injured, captured soldiers russians tortured cutting off noses and ears, gouging out eyes,etc just like orks do. West europeans wars were games for boys scouts

@ImperialGuard9001 Shire is England according to Tolkien own words , no doubt. Geographically Rohan is on the east, borders Mordor. Far awey from UK.Names?For example ruling stewards of Gondor such as Boromir sounds similar to polish Dobromir, Krzesimir etc. ROHATYNA is the spear of polish armored cavalry. And besides who heard about anglo-saxon cavalry at all ? I heard about archers, long bows and similar stuff.

You can see from their names language and culture.But those that strive north eventualy became the Breelanders and they look indeed Keltish but more Medieval and Urbanized but their behaviors strike smilitaries with Rural Britain and they contact Hobbits that are the most representation of that rural Britain with all his innocence.Finaly those that "stay" more "north" where Rohirim came and are kinsmen of them the Dalesman have language based on Norse!Simply amazing Tolkien.

So somehow the Dunedain are more Germanic "Romanized" "more Civilezed" is very interesiting to see how things work in Middle Earth that would make sense in our world. Rohirim could be compared with Goths and their paths with Late Roman Empire such Rohan and Gondor did.And their mortal enemies the Dunlendings are like Kelts expeled from their own lands by Saxons just like Rohirim expel them and take Rohan as their land.And indeed the Rohirim have based AS culture and Dunlendings a keltic.
