There were twenty of us he remembered. We had been called to the great hosting of Hengist and Horsa. I know those names. Tolkien used them in the lay of Beleriand. If memory serves, they were fathers of Hurin.

Dang it man, reading your story isn't helping me. I'm supposed to be writing my own. lol.

That is one of the greatest compliments I have gotten.

Yes, Tolkien took a great deal from the matter of Britain. And, Aelle, Hengist, Horsa, are actual historic Kings.
