Buenas, preguntando por el grupo de SAGA de facebook me han comentado que los rohirrim por estética y trasfondo con quién más similitudes tienen históricamente es con los Sajones.
He aquí un artículo que lo explica (está en inglés):
http://www.councilofelrond.com/litartic ... -overview/It is generally considered that the Rohirrim are modelled closely on the ancient Anglo-Saxons – though more the Anglo-Saxons of song and legend than the actual historical figures. This connection with the Anglo-Saxons of myth struck many chords with Tolkien:
- Anglo-Saxon: his specialist area of study,
- Myth – by the time he wrote “The Lord of the Rings” this was his first love, and
- A connection with his beloved West Midlands by calling Rohan “The Mark”.
