Danish origins?
Either I learn something new everyday, or this is an error on your part. As far as I know, Tolkien was pretty much pure English, with the exception of that bit which gave him his name, the German-derived Tolkien.
Or do you mean North-western Europe in general? The whole "Northern/Nordic/Teutonic". Or Anglo-Saxon?
Or am I actually learning something new???
