What was their fucking problem?
No really, Normans seem to be a culture consisting entirely of murderhobos whose primary careers involve gathering followers and conquering some distant and to create an overnight state.
From England to the Levant there's some Norman founded polity somewhere along the way. Were they poor? Did their mums and dads not leave them inheritance? Or they just wanted to hurt people? Even the fucking Duke of all Normandy was into the conquest business.

Normans did nothing wrong, they were a much welcomed improvement over their unwashed, barbaric distant cousins
The Norman conquest of Sicily might interest you as a counterpoint. They brought a good measure of stability to the region thanks to their military prowess.
Scandis washed and combed themselves more often than other Euros at the time

Which aspects of French culture did the Normans adopt?
>ill write "muh x" and attach a picture of a stern looking guy, that will teach him
there has been found a ton of bone combs in viking graves and even the modern name for saturday in the scandinavian languages is "washing day"
AYO

THAT WE
*blows out snot into the wash bowl and passes it on*
WUZ HYGIENUC 'N SHIEEET!?????
Actually, now that you mention Sicily, they were actually bros with the local muslims. There's even work done showing that UK common law was originally a transfer of sharia law techniques they learned from Normandy (sharia law being precedent based)
Kinda weird considering the whole crusader narrative has been tailored to fit the opposite view
anglo-saxons literally thought the vikings were overly obsessed with cleanliness because of their frequent bathing and combing
It's not about the truth for this guy, it's about the shitposting in itself. Just move along.
Imagine you're a landless noble but you have the ability to gather enough warriors for an army. Wouldn't you conquer shit?
There is no problem. Nothing wrong with conquering some foreign land, if you can keep it.
A good guideline are the words
>WE
>WUZ
Keep your distance from them.
the whole snot in bowl thing is actually mentioned in muslim sources desu
>Normans seem to be a culture
They werent a particular culture
Just Frenchmen
Language, religion, way of life, architecture, mounted warfare
They had a lot in common with the Arabs at the time, who also set up a bunch of principalities around the Mediterranean.
>shits in the street
what streets?
Everything..?
