William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, took the crown after King Harold II was killed (supposedly by an arrow through an eye). Awards

Aguincourt was one of my favorite battles from days gone by. Did that mean the French were beaten by Norman descendants? Actually the Normans were really descendants of the Vikings or Norseman...thus Normans who were granted or gifted land in Northern France ie Normandy as a bribe to stop them causing trouble, if you watch the series Vikings it is getting to the point where they attacked Paris, so the series is pretty accurate so far, they had already been raiding Britain for a while and were granted/gifted certain parts of the country to settle in, as in France, to stop them causing more havoc....of course The Battle of Hastings was much later than this but that is how Norsemen became Normans, so really it was Vikings descendants attacking Vikings descendants at Agincourt.....grrr fucking Viking troublemakers lol.

Even today, our genes remain largely Anglo-Saxon. I don't really care how authentic it is i was just giving a brief outline about how Normans and Normandy were named, i mentioned Vikings because in the last series the Vikings/Norsemen were making attacks against Paris which really did happen be it in a "fictional" TV series or not, just to get the point across of how they ended up settling in France, as i said the Normans came much later in history but were still very much descended from the Vikings.....but thanks for the lecture.....again!... bet i can piss higher up the wall than you can though.

Forgot about the French offering Normandy as a pacifier to the Norse. Hmmm, lesson here about handing sovereignty to non-native peoples? Sonovabich 1 Awards
