Without book to guide me I give you the low down as I recall it.

They were in the north of Rhovanion. For most of the time they were just kicking back, relaxing, trying to make a living like the next guy. Then along came this dragon, Scatha, but Fram slew him(I think it was Fram) then later on Cirion, a Gondorian King needed help and sent messengers to the people who would later become the Rohirrim and Eorl, their leader at that time, came to the rescue and they ended up living in Rohan.

Bare in mind most of this is in the Third Age, infact it might all be Third Age. But the important thing is that nothing really important happened to them during the Second Age. Sauron was all busy being Annatar and later battling Elves and Numenoreans. Maybe he thought the Northmen would be easy to defeat once he got rid of those pesky Elves and Numenoreans.
