GUEST,watcher BS: The battle for middle earth (46) RE: BS: The battle for middle earth 20 May 09

To be accurate (ok, pedantic! ) some experts say that only about 30-40 percent of the invaders were Norman, the rest were from Brittany (bloody ex-pat cornish!) "French" under Eustace of Boulogne, and assorted mercenaries looking to grab some loot.

One of the things usually overlooked is the genocide William carried out in the North of England, of the "Danish" who had rebelled and were potential supporters of counterclaims to the throne by the kings of Norway and of Denmark.

The Norman kings ended in the 1150s, after which England was ruled by the Plantagenets from Anjou-Aquitaine
