The barbarian and fantasy accent thing always interests me, because how do you determine what accent they have in the first place? It's fantasy!
If we wanted total realism in medieval-setting fantasy, everyone should be talking like Grendel in the CGI Beowulf anyway. : )
I think it comes down to a taste thing - we readily accept English accents as the generic "this is a long time ago" accent.
