@MrStig691 well sorry but take a good look at the english now

@dasgilde Thats a typical english cynical and ignorant viewpoint.

@Catachan1brainleaf No, they weren't Norman vikings, only a very small minority were, notably the Royals and Nobles. The English then, and today, proven by genetic study, are still descended largely as the welsh, scottish and irish are, from brythonic tribes.
