@Tlevids ya i guess its hard to tell what you start to qualify as "english" lol. but from what i have read most of english culture is from normans.

Actually the English existed as a people long before the Norman conquests (the Anglo-Saxons were the people of the Kingdom of England), so he was right. But the Normans basically overhauled a lot of English culture and their language, so the English today are culturally more a mix of Celt, Anglo-Saxon, Viking and Norman and probably several other peoples.

Fuck face redneck

@GrandMaster1136 normans are the english oyu twit. it wasnt england as a nation until the normans took it form the SAXONs stop speaking nonsense. and true. the normans (modern day english) were origanlliy from france or a protectorate of some sort. the welsh fought valiantly but being so small and so close to the heart of england in the end they failed which is why ppl look down on them its sad

@fuzzage1 actually most of the english archers were english. they just coppied the long bow tactics from wales which had invented the longbow. most english armies were made up of englishmen thought they did have have some mercenarys. sometimes over 50% was mercenary regiments (seldom)

@GrandMaster1136 there was no such thing as english celts ro england when the germanic invaders first landed=there was only celtic britons who then ended up mostly in wales scotland ,northern england and cornwall,try to think before you spout nonsense

i have one thing to say OWAIN GLYNDWR!!!!!!!! and the WELSH LONBOWS(the welsh being the inventors and masters of it) the english used us against the french almost in every battle because of our skill with our main weapon, the longbow
-
Also the Welsh and English are genetically almost identical anyway, the germanic invaders appear to have been overlords over the English Celts rather than replacing them completely. But they did manage to wipe out the original Celtic language of the English Celts. SInce they never made it to Wales that's why the Welsh language exists today.

It was actually in 1284 I think- the Statute of Rhuddlan although they were not united as one nation until the 16th century.

Normans conquered the English in 1066 and conquered the Welsh by 1283, took them 217 years! And how many of those 'English' names are actually of French origin? Over a quarter of English words are derrived from French words introduced by the Norman overlords of the Anglo-Saxons. Ultimate rape in history? Not sure about that, I mean look at what the Normans did to the English, you should be angry at them not the Welsh they raped both countries.
england didant win battles by just having english army, they had welsh archers,scottish swordsmen and irish mercenarys get it correct u idiot
