This day in 1066 England was invaded by William the Conker. He and his tiny army kicked **** out of Nigel then shagged all their wimmen making that country's population eternal mutts with terrible personal hygene. #inyereyeNige
Emmm naw ye didne. You didn't have a language before the French took over. You communicated through grunts and whistles and farts. This ancient language is still in many parts of England especially Yorkshire. The French educated you and gave you a bastardised version of their own language that they named En Gleash. You dumb ****s couldn't even get that right. FACT.
Good luck in France trying to communicate in En Gleash Waiter; Bonjour monsieur qu'est que vous voulez? Aldo; You what pal? Gi'us chips pal, 'n a pint o' heavy ken? And how're ye no speaking En gleash?
Poor old Harold, he had to hot foot it from oop North after kicking the Vikings into touch only to have to have another tear-up straight away. They didn't even have time for a decent rest and a cup of tea before William got busy. After defeating one lot of Vikings we get invaded by another lot of Viking descendants, oh the irony. Apparently William over-heard an English soldier saying "This is doomsday for sure" and he liked it so much he used it as the title for his autobiography. I don't know if this is true, I blame Horrible Histories.
Weren't these French actually Normans who were actually Vikings (North Men) Bit like them claiming Zidane anaw the ****s
They came from Normandy which is in France so they are French ok. It's like you coming from East Kilbride but thinking you're Irish, totally stupid.
They were Norse Men, or "Normands". France did not exist until the English invented it 300 years later, at Agincourt. Or something.
I'll think you'll find that, even by the standards of utter ****ishness prevalent throughout the dark ages, William was a complete ****ing rotter - hence the nickname "William the Bastard".
The Norman Conquest proved to be a renaissance (see what I did there? Used a Frenchy word in a thread about Frenchies) in England with massive strides in economic stability, the instigation of a proper government, sowed the seeds of what eventually became our system of law, and started the commonplace usage of surnames. They kicked the merde out of the Anglo-Saxons who were themselves conquerors of the English 500 years previously. Don't forget the Romans too, we've been overtaken more times than the special needs kids at sports day.
