	The Battles of the Fords of Isen
		On the eastern side of the river, the Rohirrim were sorting themselves out; when the host from Isengard on that front burst into view and attacked them before they could get arrayed: this army was smaller than that on the west side, but was an elite force of wolfriders, Dunlending cavalry and swift, heavily-armed Uruk-hai.
		The Rohirrim were pushed hard and fell back southward of the fords, pursued by their assailants along the river.
		The Isengarders resumed an attack of the north-east corner of the square, and were moving in on the north with heavy infantry again, when the Rohirrim arrived in the rear of the units to the north and south, causing routs and the withdrawl of the fresh attacks.

	The Lord of the Rings
		Known in Gondor as the Riders of Rohan, the Rohirrim were the mounted warriors of Rohan.
		Possessed of the finest horses in Middle-earth, and with riders who were fully their match, the Rohirrim were the greatest mounted warriors of any Age, and there were no infantry units who could withstand them.
		The Rohirrim would be skilled in both light and heavy cavalry attacks and would have adopted a strategy depending on the size of the opposing force.

		The Rohirrim were descended from the so-called Middle Peoples, Men who shared an ancient kinship with the ancestors of the Edain.

		When Eorl was granted the land of Rohan, his people became known as the Rohirrim, from the Elvish for 'People of the Horse-lords'.

	The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - The Rohirrim
		However, those who followed Hador and lived among his folk were the forefathers of the Rohirrim, so while the followers of Hador may have attacked the Gondorians, his actual House (those who were directly descended from him) did not, as far as I know.
		I believe the predecessors of the Rohirrim originally were the peoples of Rhovannion (from whom the kinstrife eventually arose when Valacar married the daughter of the King of Rhovannion).
		The Rohirrim were not descendants of the people of the House of Hador, but their ancestors and the ancestors of the aforementioned Edain race were one and the same.

	The Other Way 'Round — Merp.com Website
		The Rohirrim are often compared to the Anglo-Saxons, and there are people who argue that the Rohirrim must be modelled on the Anglo-Saxons because Tolkien used Old English (Anglo-Saxon) to represent their language.
		The Rohirrim, for their part, are ambivalent toward the Dunlendings; sometimes they intermarry with the Dunlendings, and sometimes they exchange brutal raids with the Dunlendings.
		If the Rohirrim are truly an homage to the Anglo-Saxons of poetry, as Tom Shippey argues in The Road to Middle-earth, the highest tribute is paid to Anglo-Saxon women, not their men, through Eowyn.

	Meduseld: Articles: Are The Rohirrim Patterned On The Anglo-Saxons?
		Relax, take a breath, I'm simply offering some arguments that suggest that maybe a different approach should be taken: the Rohirrim are a fictional culture, so instead of looking for a match using "historical" cultures we look for the best literary fit.
		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.
		No doubt he knew the dim tradition that the word "Goths" itself meant "Horse- folk." This is what adds "reconstruction" to "calquing" and produces fantasy, a people and a culture that never were, but that press closer and closer to the edge of might-have-been.

		The next day, they were met by a scout named Ceorl who told them that Saruman's armies had been unleashed and that the Rohirrim had been forced to retreat across the Isen with great losses.
		The Rohirrim followed Eomer as he charged across the field, slaying their enemies as they went.
		There were still enemies in Middle-earth, and Eomer rode with Aragorn far into the South and East beyond the Sea of Rhun hunting down the remnants of their forces.

	How did Tolkien actually portray the Rohirrim?
		To begin, a counter point has been raised to my explanation of the Rohirrim in last week's article: "Tolkien chose to represent the Rohirrim in a fashion HIGHLY influenced by Anglo-Saxon-Danish culture." The argument provided in support of this statement is that the plains of Rohan are similar to the northern seas.
		while the Rohirrim generally do not seem to have permitted foreign peoples to wander through their lands (in fact, they had few neighbors who would even be so inclined).
		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...."

	Fords of Isen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the War of the Ring there were two battles at the Fords of Isen.
		Even though the Rohirrim were surrounded, the forces of Isengard could not break through.
		However, Saruman had overestimated his success in the battle, as the Rohirrim had suffered significant losses but not as many as had been rumoured.

		The stats for the Archer and Spearmen Units I will keep identical to the Men in the rulebook but I think that considering the Rohirrim are renowned for their horsemanship and mounted warrior like ethos then something a little different is called for.
		I was thinking that since the Rohirrim are very adept horse archers yet at the same time also good at mounted combat that the following rules would seem fair.
		This is represented by a +1 attack per stand in the first round of combat, if the Rohirrim charged.", with both rules in effect, this unit goes to 100 pts.

	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.
		While there is no evidence to indicate that Rohirrim served in the Citiadel Guard (sort of the Varangian Equivelent) the relationship between the the Scandanavians and the Byzantines seems closer to the Rohirrim and the Gondorians than the Barbarians and the Romans.
		Tolkien admits that the linguistic procedure of the Rohirrim is Anglo-Saxon in nature, or at least in representation, but that the derivation stops there.

		They relocated to present-day Dunland and became sullen and grouchy, with their biggest annoyance directed towards the Rohirrim who had moved onto their old property.
		Rohirrim and Dunlendings also hated the color of one another's hair, it appears, since they used it to deride one another: "Of [Dunlendings'] language nothing appears in this book, save the name Forgil which they gave to the Rohirrim (meaning Strawheads, it is said).
		Some of the people of the White Mountains moved North long before the Rohirrim took over all the good real-estate; they became subjects of Arnor, and the Men of Bree eventually descended from them.
