Dark Ages...hmmmm...my favorite time period also. I never thought to compare LotR with it but I totally makes sense...yet, I don't think it was what he intended. It is my belief that he was strictly fascinated with Ango-Saxon Britain and that to me would mean he didnt really look to before or after involving the Celts of Britain, the Normans, etc. But, I still don't know enough to say this is right or wrong. Just the thoughts of another Dark Age lover, though I strictly deal with 6th century Britain.
