I always tough that Orcs where a literary device to represent Barbarians. Not DF barbarians, but the foreigner, someone you can't reason with because you don't share customs, language, culture.
The vikings fit the bill for medieval England. The mongols are more like it for the rest of Europe that wasn't near the North Sea.
