By the time he was born, Normans had interbred with the locals for seven generations, without any renewal of Danish blood So William the Conqueror was something like 85% French and 15% Danish genetically speaking
Meanwhile, Louis XIV was 50% Spanish through his mom

Why are Brits so averse to ruling themselves? When they ran out of Frenchman they invited a Dutchman and then a family of fucking Germans to rule.

Would you trust an Englishman with such power? They are inherently expansionist and warmongering, given the reins of supreme government and the Englishman would've swept a tide of brutal war through Europe until everything is destroyed and civilisation undone. On the otherhand they are good with money and trade

can both of you please shut up and stop applying modern borders and concepts of nationalism to pre-enlightenment history because you can’t visualize things outside the context of a fucking paradox game

I’m referring to french and english nationalists.
I’m sure one guy will reply with some shit like ‘im not even french xd’ but you get the fucking point.
Xavier Thomas
Not even sure there's any French person in this thread Just because someone aknowledge Normans were French doesn't mean this person is French
Those denying it are mostly bongs tho
William Collins
It is typically the French, however that insist that all English knights until 1453 were French
Ian Cook
This.
Jaxon Williams
Not really I'm not French in the slightiest, yet I love trolling bongs on their French heritage because it never fails to make them mad
I wish this board had flags, it'd be hilarous
Sebastian Cruz
I actually reckon that most of the people who poke fun at the English for their French ancestry are actually German
Wyatt Smith
You're literally the cancer of this board as I described.
