Brief History of Rohirrim

Their ancestors, Éothéod (tribe of the Northmen) were middlemen whom the Valar eventually rewarded with island of Númenor. They were descended from the House of Hador, which strengthened a connection they had with Gondor.

They were living in Calenardron, which was renamed Rohan after their horses. It’s usually called The Mark by them.
