And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Something WAS up with the Normans. And they were Norse colonists/conquerors, not French.
Native Britons: cheery clots who only eat mash and beans; crash a lot. Celto-Germanics: grumpy clots with an elevated sense of their own driving capabilities. French Normans: pedantic clots who drive slowly; usually pick the wrong car.
The so-called "native" Britons are the descendants of the Anatolian farmers who invaded the isles some 8,000 years ago, or so. They made Stonehenge, Newgrange and other monuments. They displaced/absorbed the native hunter-gatherers.
The Normans (Norse Men) were a few thousand conquerors, not tens of thousands of colonists. They didn't intend to farm, but to rule. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes, on the other hand, mostly exterminated and replaced the native Britons and the remaining Romans in the lands they conquered and colonized.

ReplyDeleteNormans were from Scandinavia. Tough SOB's. William the Bastard, later known as William the Conqueror, was the smartest of all.
