always felt sorry for harold, having to run north -battle then south and battle must have been very tired, and i believe he swore alliagience to william as he was in williams country and probably felt he had no choice. harold had every right to the crown, william bullied him into his oath............william the thief. typical french arrogant asshole.
@DAVERUKY I don't think Edward would have called William a thief; he owed everything to the Norman duchy, especially considering he had spent most of his life there in exile. And it was Edward who sent the bishop of London to Normandy to confirm the succession in the 1050s. The Godwine family was highly ambitious, not to mention murderous. They betrayed their king and regularly obstructed the royal prerogative. Harold's father had Edward's brother killed brutally, too. Not nice!
@DecmanReturns edward wouldnt have called william a thief, but i think harold was put in a position where he had to swear as if he didnt i think he would have been killed so he swore but he was very ambitious and would have never given up the crown to william not unless he felt threatened.
While, yes, the Normans had Viking origins, it's not accurate to call them Vikings: even after the first two generations or so, they adapted to the Gallic way of life remarkably rapidly (especially after Duke William I). They had to, after all, being vastly outnumbered. Same in England. They were little concerned with praising any sort of raiding or marauding heritage. Absolutely a fascinating people, though. In my mind, Duke William II was the rightful successor to Edward the Confessor.
am only 12 but i think i kno alot about the hasting and i think england could of won if they didnt have to fight the viking coz the beach wont of been empty and they would of been at the top of the hill wait and why did they run down the hill i kno it was coz of the trap lol
Normandy is an any case outside the realm of France! It was outside of the personal field of king but not the realm of France and the different Dukes held their power and their land which was the king! This is the feudalism that the Normans in turn introduce in England
and that their country has been submitted by a handful of knights from Normandy to Britain and other region of northern France!
If despite this you do not change his mind one day you have the opportunity to go see the Bayeux tapestry, you will see that it is clearly written that the battle between the French and English!
Do you not forget the obvious! the facts are clear, the knights from France dressed as French, with French names, speaking French and having French culture, can not be anything but French! Everyone agrees the above except maybe a few English chauvinist who can not admit that the basis of their civilization is French
Nothing like in Normandy, the arrival of a fist Vikings did not change the ethnic composition of the duchy or his language or culture! Normandy remained fundamentally committed to the rest of France! The proof: the Normans introduced their way of life in the countries they conquered, as feudalism to England or Gothic architecture,they also kept their language : French.
In short! In 1066, landed an army in England, consisting of Normans, Bretons and knights from all other parts of northern France speak a Latin language in case the French, with French names, dressed in the French, and having French culture! conquering one country to Germanic culture under the influence of Scandinavian civilization
From then until the reform of Henry VIII, England will become part of the Latin cultural area.The Normans impose French in England for more than three centuries
Normandy as other duchies participate fully in the affairs of the kingdom of France. Nothing differentiates the Duchy of Normandy other duchies of the realm! Language, culture, religion are the same as the rest of the kingdom. (The same code of chivalry, the same architecture and the same moral value) short people belonging to French civilization, there is nothing left of Scandinavian, except maybe an immoderate taste for conquest!
Well summarize a bit! Around 911, King of France gives a band of Viking the right to settle in Normandy! This region already populated by a mixed population Gallo-Romans and Franks, whose language and the old French! The Vikings, being few in number and generally have no women marry local women! Due to the small number of Vikings and mixing with local people, the Scandinavian language disappears in two generations!
@connectaircom waterloo ? an anglo-PRUSSIAN victory. Trafalgar ? Half of the guns have been given to the fields armys. the hundred years war ? we won it, and it's not a war between England and France, It's a war between, France and England... and burgundy, Flanders, and "bretagne" (I don't know the english word) during the first part of the war. And strangely, you don't speak about Bouvines, Fontenoy, Tourcoing or La Rochelle(yes, we kicked your asses on the sea too)
i will also say i am lucky enough to have been and seen the bayeaux tapistry and its really beautiful and detailed.french obviously made it so its biased,they put a big point in saying god was on their side,harold lied apparently after swearing allegiance to william.the pope also gave william a banner and his blessing.it was felt by normans that god was with them.especially with the passing of haleys comet.
@DAVERUKY It's likely that Harold did swear allegiance to William in about 1063 or so, but Edward *did* promise Harold the throne too, on his deathbed. Both the English and Norman sources acknowledge this. What's not clear is the nature of this promise: maybe Edward was under duress or delusional in his final hours? We'll never know. No less than six people claimed to be owed the throne or believed they had a claim, so it's clear that Edward didn't have any binding plans, or was very cunning.
the english lost simply due loss of control.all they had to do was stand strong, but they ran after the normans and in the end the normans didnt win, the english lost, they defeated themselves by breaking ranks.i think if english had held on not broken their line they would have kicked frenchy ass. lolz french got lucky with the arrow shot 2 eye. lol
ENGLISH ARE THE WEAKEST FIGHTERS TO DATE, THEY TOOK HALF OF FRANCE AND HAD ONE OF THE MOST FEARED ARMIES IN EUROPE BUT WERE KICKED INTO THE SEA BY A LITTLE GIRL!
Anyway, you little French poofs had only got to England via behind us when we were kicking the Norwegians back where they came from. And you actually thought it was a stunning victory. *Ahem* Poofs *Ahem*
You fat English snobs only got to France when its King was mentally insane and all of France was fighting each other and had no money. Four hundred years later Napoleon had you by the balls so you petty English buffoons cowered behind your channel and got the Austrians, Spanish, Portuguese Russians, Swedish, Italians, Turks, Dutch and Prussians to all go against France. It took you 5 wars until you can finally beat the French!
They all chose to go. And warterloo, british. Your welcome or WWI and WWII, for fuck sake you surrendered immediatley. TWICE. Being the french twat you are.
The Normans were Vikings who seized a chunk of northern France and gave it their name. If you want to talk about battles between England and France, how about Crecy, Poitiers, Agincourt, Batle of the Nile and of course Trafalgar (don't forget we kicked your arses at sea as well as the land) and Waterloo when we finally nailed your little fat bastard for good. Then we help you against the jerries and you surrendered, and that big nosed twat DeGaulle was given safe refuge in Engand;
@connectaircom i find it funny that while European pesent bicker and are sent to war to kill one another are sent by the royle families of europe who where all fucking cusins they are the elite and we are the 99 percent im from the middle east by the way and i also fucking hate my corrupt ass politicians.
@connectaircom you were helped by "jerries" at waterloo, and they won the leipzig battle together with russians... every war you fought alone you lost(except those ones agains naked natives with sharpened mangos)...
@connectaircom Le fait est que ce n'est pas une langue scandinave qui a été imposé par les Normands en Angleterre, mais il est la langue française qui était devenu la langue officielle du royaume d'Angleterre jusqu'à la fin du 14ème siècle. Les Normands ont aussi introduit l'architecture gothique, le féodalisme et bien d'autres qui n'étaient pas les usages et les coutumes des royaumes scandinaves mais ceux du royaume de France dont le duché de Normandie
@connectaircom HIC FRANCI PUGNANT HE CECIDERUNT QUI ERANT CUM Haroldo
traduit ici le FRANÇAISE (Francs) en sont venus à faire la bataille avec Harold / Ici les Français se battent et ont tué ceux qui étaient avec Harold .. ils se considéraient comme Français consultent Bayeux Tapisserie
@TJPinoy The role of Joan d'Arc is vastly, vastly overrated. Additionally, the English were overstretched and bankrupt, fighting in a hostile country, with a population several times larger. I'd say they did pretty good.
wow nice :) We have our Battle of Grunwald in Poland and you have Hastings :) fine battle :) i'd like to see battle of Azincourt hehe :) greetings to you noble English knights from Polish knight :)
@Topcatuk13 The Norman's played a very aggressive, offensive long ball game, and liked to try lure the Angle's into the offside trap, but we played a very defensive, zonal game.. But once they broke past our defences, they popped one in the back of the net in injury time, and we knew it was game over... Good game over all
Haha William the Psychopath who was the last person to invade Britain, bringing hundreds of years of stability to the country, which was something practically unheard of! But yeah shame any of it happened - although it does mean we get to reenact it now, which is awesome!
@Kas0n - Shows how much you know. He brought instability to the country, the Saxons were just getting to the peak of the civilisation with Harold at the helm until those scumbag assholes came over.
@TheBighairyfart - Yes, Anglo Saxons nuns wasn't it? There are many subversive messages hidden on the Tapestry, look how small William looks in some of the pictures compared with Roger de Montgomery, Count Eustace of Boulogne and Bishop Odo.
A black day for England,as William the Psychopath ravaged the land,and attempted genocide in the north.Even almost 1000 years later the common English suffer under the class system devised by the Normans,-the Norman Yoke as it has long been known.
