Yes, I was looking for an outline on the Norman Conquest. I guess I could have just asked that before?And the Anglo-Saxon fight with Normandy - I think 1066 was the main time that conflict happened. Harold Godwinson against William the Conquerer (also known as the Bastard.) Is that when you're thinking of? If it is, then I know the outline of what happened.
Forgive me if this sounds like a stupid question, but what do you mean by "Germanic territory"?De Morin was a commune (family) in Germanic territory.
So if these Norsemen weren't of French origins, does that mean I'm not connected to France at all or is it technically? Uh, what do you mean the Norsemen weren't really "French?"Except, when you say we're of French origin, that is debatable: the Normans are known as they are because of original invasions from the Norsemen, not just to the British Isles, but through into mainland Europe. These tribes also settled in Northern France, meaning these "French" were really not that French. The English are a mix of a lot of things, not really "predominantly" of any origin. The most likely is Celtish, really, a recent study found 60-70% of people in the British Isles have Celtish origins.
