The Norman's invaded England not the French. The Norman's (Northman) were Vikings who were related to the Anglo Saxons thats why they had a claim to the throne.

@azx43 Nothing yo do with racism???? Why do people these days find racism everywhere? The Normans were Vikings it's a fact, they were descended from Rollo of Denmark and often fought the French. I am my self descended from them, my ancestors came to England with the Norman invasion in 1066. Also the Germanic peoples originated in Scandinavia before spreading to place like er....... France, named after the Frank's, even though the local population of Romano Gauls spoke Latin after their previous occupation by the Roman's. The Anglos (from modern day Denmark) and the Saxons modern day Northern Germany. The Norman's were also related to the Anglo Saxons that why they had a claim to the throne. Edward the Confessor even had a Norman wife. However, the plantagenets were related to both the Norman William the Conqueror, and the Anglo Saxon Alfred the Great. The Bretons of course in Brittany came from Briton itself, in fact it was originally known as Little Britain. All historic facts nothing to with 'racism' ffs ??????
