@legomyeggo713 The Vikings who settled in Normandy in France from 911 French were certainly not because they did not speak French, their cultures were not French, and even after their conversion to Christianity they were not French! But it is their children who will be French because their mothers were local women and their children in turn to marry local women so they become French in language, culture and blood

@EarlLeofwine Everyone knows all of that, but you are forgetting all of the amazing things that William did for England. He literally brought England out of the Dark Ages into the Medieval Ages. He created policies that were beyond what other countries, at the time, were doing. All of the English hated William, but he did something great for England and in retrospect, many English should be grateful to him.

@Saxonsoldiers It was not easy! However, if there had not had the Normans, it is almost certain that England would remain a small insignificant nation, a nation on the marginal borders of Europe closed in on itself! The Normans introduced into England their vitality that they have infused the English nation, and this vitality has never ceased, which has given England the means to conquer the world and have the longest history and the most glorious of the world!

@ImperialGuard9001 You are right about many things!

[espoire1757]

@Saxonsoldiers You made​in bad faith! Indeed if England had become a poor country in the 14th century it was the plague and the Hundred Years War and not to any mismanagement of the kingdom! The situation in France and other European countries was similar to England and maybe even worse! England was doing better than others because it was an island! therefore it was better protected than others to disease and wars!

@Saxonsoldiers With them, England was opened first to the mainland, thanks to the continental possession of the conquerors and the world! Without the Norman history of England would have been much more modest influence on the world are much more limited and ironically given that the Normans spoke French, English probably would not have been much discussed by the world !

@Saxonsoldiers You should be grateful to William the Conqueror, of course, the early years of the conquest has had to be very challenging for the English, but all the gains are! Also the English people has been marginalized, if not humiliated by foreign rule at least until the end of the 12th century! The conquerors brought with them their architecture, their language, their culture and way of seeing the world that they were imposed by force forever changing the history of the English people!

@espoire1757 The National Feeling was very precarious in Hundred Year Wars I mean they were more Dinasties figthg each other for the trone that nations one of the factions Burgundy was hardly a "Nation". Even so it was one main factions involved one that withoud the suport England would lose his holdings in mainland. Until the French Revolution I hardly feel a State or a National Feeling like we see today there was of course Loyality and Honor but Nation-State? Hardly.
