I am the one who posted this suggestion just to avoid any confusion. The reason I suggested thane is because, as Difusal pointed out, it is drawing from the same well of inspiration as Tolkien. That being said thane is not only Anglo-Saxon but is culturally Germanic as it can be found in old high German and Old Norse, so it seems to fit Rohirric culture. I also mentioned captain as being acceptable, but the main point is that such a high rank as Marshal should probably be reserved for possible future named npc's. The shire for example has more shirriff's and shirriff chiefs then the books and I understand why that's necessary, but the developers didn't name the shirriff chiefs we hire npc's from Thain's for what I imagine to be similar reasons. There would only be one Thain of the shire so that wouldn't make sense.
