Thanks Richard

>henrycucks will defend this

Don't you mean thanks John?

Madman. How did he do it?

No, it was Richards fault, he left John fucked, but John gets the blame.

What did I do?

B-but Lindybiege told me that England won the 100 years war D:

Pic isnt about the HYW
It's about how the French family that ruled England between 1154 and 1485 lost its ancestral French lands (that they owned long before even owning England) to the French king
The French crown became their rival when they took over England

You know what, why wasn't England considered part of France. I mean the Throne belonged to the French.

I swear only France has the power to rule all of Western civilization, and yet be the most socially divided nation.

Fuckin go figure. Really wish an Italian was the rightful heir to the Roman Empire and not the fuckin Franks.

> why wasn't England considered part of France. I mean the Throne belonged to the French.

and Catherine the Great was Prussian but nobody considered Prussia part of Russia

>Catherine the Great was Prussian
>Adolf Hitler was Austrian
>Joseph Stalin was Georgian
>Napoleon Bonaparte was Italian
>Winston Churchill was (half) American
>Richard the Lionheart was French
God damn it. There goes another famous leader on the list of foreign nationality.

To be fair it wasn't a lone person at the head, the entire British aristocracy was French.

>was Prussian
She wasn't Prussian.

"British" yes. England isle. No.

But my point exactly. Like there was no difference in France and England from being under the same rule. Except of course the argument that

"No I'm dirty dann!"

Well England was part of the francosphere if you will, but they were still separate kingdoms. Kind of like how the Crusader kingdoms were "French" but not part of France.

In a broader sense, the French kind of are to Western civilisation what the Greeks were to Greco-Roman civilisation.

De Valera was a Hispanic American.

John McCain was Panamanian.

>England
The word would not exist if Richard had consolidated his Empire.

>separate kingdoms.
England as a concept was alien to the Britons until Vikings and Normans added it to their possessions.
